:( hi everyone i'm new here ive had these dreaded panic attacks on and off for 21 years more so lately as my dad died last year we were very close and life has just been stressful. a couple of weeks ago i had a really bad attack , i had just eaten my dinner when i had a really funny feeling in my chest it felt like it went all hot and then tight, hubby phoned the gp as it then turned into a panic attack because i thought i was having a heart attack. I went along to the emergency doctor just to put my mind at ease and was even worse as he then made me chew an asprin and go to hospital for an ecg omg i was terrified. I was going to die!. Got to the hospital had 2 ecg all was fine was proberly indegestion and panic but no one laughed at me. I still get the pains in my chest but i have to tell myself i'm ok. I wonder if any one eles gets this symptom i have bad nights sometimes i can go to sleep and then i wake up gasping for breath thinking i'm going to die and then i'm ok and it doesnt feel real somehow. Also if i'm due on my period or tired i sometimes hullusinate does anyone eles ever have or had this i have had this about 15 years as well i can go weeks then it wil happen a lot, any advice appreciated.
