Kortnie,

We're a support forum for anxiety and panic disorder, and as such, we cannot provide any medical advice.

If you are feeling concerned about your health and well-being, only a doctor will be able to diagnose if you have something physically wrong occurring, or if you're experiencing some of the many symptoms of a panic attack.

This is a personal choice that you need to make for your own well-being, but please know that we are here for you to talk with, whatever your choice is.

I don't want to go to er because then it'll lead into last June when I was at the er every night for two months straight! I guess what I wanted to know is.. Is that a symptom of anxiety? Has anyone experienced this before?

hello, panic attacks can be very scary. If you have been to the ER so many times, I assume the doctors have checked everything and ruled out anything that could hurt you. I assume, but you should disuss this with your doctor and give them your concerns. I have alot of heart issues that give me alot of anxiey and panic attacks. When I have a little chest pain my heart just takes off beating very fast and erratic sometimes and my BP goes through the roof and I can't control it. I have been to enough doctors to know I'm OK and my mind is letting every little ache and pain be associated with my heart and cause panic attacks. I have to take walks to stop the panic attack, just a walk in the park listening to relaxing music works well for me. Find something to occupy your mind if these are panic attacks..

by the way, panic attacks can start at anytime, out of the blue, even when you are asleep. I have waken up in the middle of the night with chest pain and an extemely high heart rate, then gone to the ER and have all kinds of scans and tests done and every thing be OK. I have back issues to and could have turned over in the middle of the night in my sleep and caused a little pain that radiates to my chest from my back and my mind says, (Oh, its your heart, wake up) and I wake up scared with a pounding heart. I have been to pain management doctors for the back pain and my chest pain has been coming from my back, from muscles spasms and nerve impulses. this has caused me anxiety I have never dreamed of. Pain in my chest from my back with heart issues scares me!!!!!!! have to tell myself I'm OK..

Kortine, glad to see you posting again, but I'm sorry for how you are feeling. Try some deep breathing and see if this will help. If you don't feel better, you should visit the ER as they may be able to help.

I hope things will get better for you and you will feel better.

I keep trying to ignore it but that's no help either! I haven't taken my vistral/hydroxyzine in a month or two but think I'm gonna take it tonight maybe that will help
