i can hear what you are saying about the pain you are feeling. I dont know what to say wherther it is a panic attack or not ... i dont think anyone could make that judgement over the net!! The good thing is that you have had heart tests and they came back fine, is it likely that they woudl be inaccurate?? All i know is that the first panic attack i had i felt unwell and thought i was having a heart attack and thinking that spiralled me totally into feeling more paina nd more panic though i had no idea that what i was experiencing was a panic attack. To calm me my parents took me to A&E and they told me i had tonsilitus (which was causing me to feel odd, feverish and queasy and pains in my chest) which i think triggered my worrying thoughts (catastrophising my unhelpful thought) and it escalated very quickly. When i described what i felt the dr said it sounded like a panic attack.

I am sorry that i might not have given the answer you are looking for, though its a good thing you are here because i am sure you will be able to talk about things with poeple on here and feel supported and thought about. :)
