Hi Jackie,
Just to ressure you, I often feel breathless and sweaty when panicking. I find I hold my breath a lot subconsiously and when you suddenly realise you are doing this it makes you feel breathless and get chest pains.
However, it might also mean you are coming down with a cold or such like. BUT, one thing I don't reckon will happen, is that you will sit there and die. It's your anxiety speaking and the more you worry about it the worse it will become.
Try and get up and do something even if it's only some vigorous floor mopping, anything to try to take your mind off how you are feeling.

I have had symptoms like this out of the blue before and I hvae been terrified but they can be caused by panic and anxiety.
Try and distract yourself by having a bath or phoning a friend and see if it eases a bit. I know it's hard to do these things when you think you are going to die but it's worth a try.
I hope you feel better soon

hi jack sorry your feeling bad i get this a lot especially in morning it is scary but just our heads throwing in some new symptoms to scare us.i hav pm you.take care marcia
i have to do it for my kids if not for myself marciaxx
hi jackie,
hope you are feeling a bit better.
i had chest pains and palps really badly and totally out of the blue quite recently, felt totally breathless and was sure i was going to die.
it's just another horrible panic symptom - next time it happens it won't scare you so much so it hopefully won't be so bad.
take care,

dont feel as afraid today henri, but even this is scary if that makes sense. afraid to not be on the alert incase it really is my heart slowly giving up

Yeah i use to get panic attacks only went i was sleep
but the last 2days i've been getting them during the day
I feel like i'm having a heart attack its freaking me out
What if it is my heart
this feels different
Jackie,
If your heart were vgiving out bwhich it isn't , you would be having a myriad of symptoms and pain doesn't come high on the list.
Read up in our symptoms page. Most chest pains we get are from the tensing up of intercostal muscles and this will happen too if the muscles are tense and strained.
When you get a cold or flu these muscles amongst others get inflamed and start to hurt.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Those symptoms are totally normal for panic attacks first of all. Second, I hope you are feelign better right now. Third, I don't know if you have been diagnosed or if you have PD orAD, but if you do, and you are actually gettign sick, worrying about it, whether you are sick our not can actually cause you to feel anxiety. It is like me, I have PD, but sometimes I feel anxiety when I worry about when I will get my next panic attack. For people who have anxiety and/or panic, it can become a vicious cycle, with anything.
I hope you are feeling better, take care!:D
hi jackie
