Angie - one of the physical symptoms during a panic attack when the "fight or flight syndrome" kicks in - is as Dottie described it - "tunnel vision". The body does this to give you better vision to SEE the threat that has sent you into a panic (altho in a panic attack there is no threat other than our thoughts - the brain just doesnt know that - it just knows we are scared to death and kicks in to a protection mode).
