Does panic attacks make your body burn a lot more calories?

[Xavier]

This may seem like a stupid question.
Thing is the last few weeks I've been having panic attacks really fequently and been really stressed about it most of the time, and I've been eating a lot and not doing any exercise.
I've actually lost like 5 pounds though some how, in spite of the fact that I've been eating more than I normally do.

The answer to your question is yes you do burn more calories when suffering stress and panic attacks,i have had a bit of a crappy time on and off for the last month or so i have lost 17 lbs in that time which is realy peeing me off as im into bodybuilding and do not want to loose weight:shrug:
