Yep! That is due to the rise in blood pressure from your adrenaline increasing your heart rate. By the way… you really should see a doctor.

Yes, it’s normal, the question is though, why the panic? Blood flows fast when you become frightened or excited, and can cause ‘bloodshot eyes’ along with other reactions, especially in sensitive spots of your body. If you have ‘panic’ attacks, there is usually a reason for it, and you need to confront THAT.
