Obviously no medical training then.
As panic creates the release of hormones the body goes into a flight or fight mode, the blood is actually diverted away from the digestive system as the survival response is "wont need to digest anything if i die".
The blood is then pooled in the central core where it is enriched with oxygen ready to either run or fight, the blood flow to the limbs is affected only in that the blood going to it is slightly more oxygen rich.
The heart rate and BP is raised and the breathing rate is increased simply to get more oxygen into the body ready for a burst of intense action. CO2 is flushed from the lungs during the panting. This will affect blood PH and create light headedness etc, detachment from reality etc.
In a panic attack, these actions become amplified with no outburst of energy , the panting creates hyperventilation in the lungs leading to dizziness, disorientation etc, this further exasperates the release of hormones creating a vicious cycle.

Have you been on the internet then - looking up Panic Attacks?
You have simply described what a panic attack is! You have not proved that Freddie suffered a panic attack!
You have not - and are unable to diagnose that Freddie had a panic attack! So your point is what exactly!
