Anxiety attack symptoms?
Hi,
Ever since Sunday afternoon I have been having this thought that I am having a heart attack. I have a history of panic/anxiety. However, I am having a hard time convincing myself that it is just anxiety. I have had symptoms such as left arm pain, chest pain, tightness in the chest and throat, shortness of breath, dizziness bouts etc.
I went to the ER and all they did was ask about my history, listen to my heart, take vitals and oxygen levels. No EKGs or Chest X-Rays or anything like that. They said my symptoms were due to anxiety and gave me Zoloft.
Right now (about 4 days after the symptoms started), I am sitting here with tightness in chest and throat and a shortness of breath. Is this really just anxiety? I keep trying to convince myself it is but I am having a very hard time.
If it was heart related, since I started experiencing symptoms about 4 days ago, would the symptoms have gotten a lot worse?
Thanks!
Nope, no blood test was done. I was puzzled as to why they didn’t do any testing really but I guess I was an obvious anxiety case?

It does sound like you are having anxiety attacks, which can feel very much like a heart attack. At the ER, did anyone take you blood to test? If someone has had a heart attack, an enzyme is present in your blood.
There is also something that is called ‘non-specific chest pains’. A doctor might dianose this after checking your blood and ruiling out anxiety. There is no real remedy for this other than rest and trying to avoid stress.
You probably should visit a family doctor who can properly diagnose what is happening to you.
Hey, I understand how you feel…
The uncomfortable symptoms like sweaty palms, "jelly" legs, extreme alertness, "impending doom" feeling and the fight-or-flight response.
I’ve been there. I’m an ex-victim. Sometimes the deep breathing or distraction techniques doesn’t work – a full-blown panic or anxiety attack happens later.
Sometimes you experience panic attack out of the blue and such.
Do NOT buy Panic Away, Linden Method, EasyCalm or the Panic Puzzle. They do NOT work – I’ve tried them and their solutions are similar – it DOESN’T WORK.
Medications do NOT work – I was under many antidepressants (Prozac, Lexapro, Paxil and Zoloft) and anti-anxiety medications (Ativan, Klonopin, and Xanax) but my condition was the same – no improvement at all.
The only program that really work is The Panic Attack Solution. It’s found by an ex-victim. You can check out his old blog in his official website to read up some useful tips.
But the package is the best – it teaches 17 powerful techniques and the real solution to panic attacks. I’ve bought it and it really helped me – it’s the BEST anti-anxiety package or book I’ve read.
His theory really makes sense and it works effectively!
You will learn why your panic attacks can happen without warning sometimes; why having stimulant causes panic attacks; and many-many other useful tips!
