As you know all you can do is call the out of hours doc or NHS direct or go to A&E.

We cannot say if you are having a heart attack or not but when I had mine I wouldn't have even thought about posting on NMP and asking - we called 999.

Terror x I think that if u really thought u were having a heart attack u would dial 999 - more than likely u have a chest infection or a bad dose of anxiety.

Terror, If you thought you were having a heart attack, you most certainly would know it. I would see your gp anyway

Hi Terror hope you managed to get sorted out.
Lots of people with panic attacks get palps too and usually feel they are having a heart attack, still best to be checked out at A&E if your worried but a panic attack won't kill you.
If this happens again and your worried call 999 Paramedics are trained enough to know if someones having a heart attack or not.
