What Are Panic Attacks » heart attack

I have an advice question about anxiety attacks at school?

Tue, 23 Nov 2010 00:45:46 +0000

Lately I have been having anxiety attacks at school, but i haven’t really told the teachers what’s wrong and what to do if I have one in class and stuff. my mom doesn’t think that I should tell anyone, but I disagree with her. I think my teachers should know so that if I have one in their class they know that I am not having a heart attack or stroke or anything. Do you think that I should tell them or the nurse, both or neither??

– thanks in advance.

I get panic attacks at the drop of a dime, for any little reason. I cut soda and coffee out of my diet a few months ago. Today I drank a can of mountain dew and now I feel like i’m going to die. My heart races, I get chest pains, and it feels like i’m going to stop breathing. I’m not having a heart attack. It’s deffinatley anxiety. Why does ceffeine spark my anxiety?

BTW: I’ve been to the doctor for this. They didn’t give me an answer.

Would these symptoms be categorized as heart attack symptoms or panic attack symptoms.?

I’m personally a bit scared as of right now because I can’t figure out the difference between heart attack warning symptoms and panic attack symptoms. You see, I’ve been having a quick, sharp pain in my chest ever since I woke up. I woke up at 9:02 am central time. It goes away but comes back every hour or so. Now I’ve been trying to calm myself down and say it’s nothing but for a couple of days now I’ve been dizzy, my left arm has been having muscle spasms, my face has been feeling like it’s swollen, more or less meaning there’s a lot of discomfort, and now I’m having a pain in my left shoulder/ upper arm. Please, can someone possibly tell me what’s going on? I’m only 18, I shouldn’t be feeling like this, should I?

Can panic attack symptoms last for days?

Tue, 06 Jul 2010 02:02:57 +0000

Hey everyone,
So, I’ve been having what I think may be panic attacks recently. I’ve had them in the past, but these symptoms I’ve been having lately, are very different. For a while, I was having chest pains and At night, sometimes I get these attacks and I have difficulty breathing and this sort of wave of panic comes over me. At first, I thought I was having a heart attack, so I freaked out and the next day went to the hospital, but after they did an ECG, tested my oxygen intake and did a chest x-ray, they said everything looked not just fine, but above average. Lately, though, I’ve been feeling really spaced out, faint and a little dizzy and this symptom isn’t going away. Its been around for a couple of days now and there isn’t much that makes this sensation stop. I feel disconnected, almost dream-like to what’s around me, like I’ve just woken up. Is this a symptom of panic attacks and is it normal for this disconnectedness to go on for a few days?
Anyone who’s experienced this or has some clues, your help is much appreciated.

Oh, also, I have been to the Hospital about 4 times regarding this because nothing’s changed and I keep worrying that its something serious, but every time I go, different doctors do the same tests (ECG, oxygen intake) but all say basically the same thing: my heart’s fine, my lungs are fine, and they say its in my head, but these physical symptoms don’t go away…

How does one get over panic attack symptoms?

lately I have a weird feeling I’m swaying when I’m just sitting. Then today I woke up with chest pains, shortness of breath (pretty sure not heart attack) and feeling generally weird… I had stomach issues and took tums and went to the bathroom but I want to feel good… It sucks because I feel like I just had a big fight with my boyfriend.. its kind of that same feeling and the chest annoyance keeps coming back.

What's the difference between heart attack and anxiety and panic attack symptoms?

Sun, 30 May 2010 00:39:10 +0000

I’m curious because even though I’m told I’m too young for a heart attack, I’m 18 by the way, I’m afraid to get one… Now I’ve read into a lot of sites and have noticed that the three conditions have almost EXACT symptoms to one another. So how can you tell between these three?
