Yes, it can be a symptom of a severe panic attack. It can also be a symptom of a dissociative state.

ahmm... so is it PANIC? isnt it that in panic level of anxiety, the vision is already distorted?

since severe anxiety has symptoms that can also be in the panic level, tunnel vision MIGHT be in panic but there is a possibility that it started in severe anxiety and thats what i really want to know..

anyone? please? thanks

In all honesty the question is far too vague. It's like asking which came first the chicken or the egg. Hope your continued exploration of this finds you the answer you are looking for. Try asking a psychiatrist their opinion on the subject. It is their speciality and their realm to diagnose .

Nerdtonurse is right. The other ones might be. Is this a test question? Did you ever find out the correct answer?
