Abstract

The immediate effects of a single inhalation of a 35% CO2 mixture in oxygen were examined in 12 patients with panic disorders and 11 normal control subjects. Compared to a placebo air inhalation, the CO2 inhalation provoked short-lived autonomic panic symptoms in both patients and normals; it also elicited high subjective anxiety in patients with panic disorders. The latter rated the overall CO2-induced state as very similar to a real-life panic attack.
