Can you smoke if you have a panic attack?

Smoking is not recommended for panic attacks. Harmful substances in tobacco can increase the frequency of panic attacks and even induce a variety of diseases, so it is not recommended that people with panic attacks smoke. Nicotine and other substances in tobacco will excite the sympathetic nerves of the heart, which will aggravate the degree of panic and increase the frequency of panic attacks. Long-term smoking also causes atherosclerosis, which induces hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and many other serious diseases. In addition, smoking also induces a variety of diseases, such as causing respiratory bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc. At the same time, smoking is an independent risk factor for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Therefore, smoking is not recommended. It is recommended to have reasonable exercise, quit smoking and drinking, have a light diet and regular work and rest. If panic attacks are frequent or last for a long time, please consult a doctor promptly.
