With all due respect, having had two heart attacks, bypass surgery and stents, you would not be here asking opinions and posting if this were a heart attack.

I am worried about this at the moment as well. I am having some sharp pains in both sides of my chest off and on.

Could the pp please tell me...did you have any pains/warning signs before your heart attack?

Heart attacks take many forms but I must stress as others on admin have said that we are not doctors.

I don't want to advise or scare you.Just go to your doctor and get reassurance that in all probability it is anxiety.

I have this all the time. Mine last for hours and freak me out. I hate them. In my mind, it is the worst anxiety symptom as I really think I'm having a heart attack.

It's stress. Even though I know this I still think I'm having heart problems (despite having had all different types of tests). I try to distract myself.

Its really awful isn't it, I think its the worse to! I try an distract myself but most of the time it doesn't work!

Yes, it takes ages for the chest pains to go away. Like now, I had pain for the last few hours and it sends me into a panic attack. Do you get chest tightness as well as the pain?

Walking helps me as I think I must not be having a heart attack if I can walk. However, it's hard when you have this in the middle of the night.

Yes I get tightness aswel I know deep down its not an heart attack but when it comes on I get so worked up about it its really scary!
