Hi Doug,
i don't have any information for your situation but wondered if I could ask you a question.
"Plus, it could worsen perfusion in parts of the brain by reducing blood flow that's available there, and thus potentially worsen any brain injury that's already happened"
I always wondered what the adverse effects of untreated chronic anxiety/panic attacks were. Is it possible they could cause damage in reducing flow to the brain, similar to what you mentioned here? Anxiety, from what I understands, redirects your blood towards the muscles. And many people here complain about chronic memory/concentration problems. Could cognitive problems be a result, in part, of chronic untreated anxiety related to the concept you mentioned above? You seem to have quite a bit knowledge of this concept...so I hoping you might know something I don't.
Thanks
