Think I Just Had A Panic Attack

[oscar1]

I'm pretty sure I just had a panic attack. I have a pain in my chest, under my left breast, almost like a stabbing pain. I'm pretty sure I'm not having a heart attack, because everyone always says that you would know if you were. My breathing didn't really change but I got really hysterical because I was so worried about the pain. Does this sound like a panic attack? Has anyone else ever had this pain in their chest?

Sounds like it could be a bit of anxiety but could have been indigestion! You would know if you'd had a full blown panic attack. Try not to worry. X

Doesn't sound like a panic attack, sounds like you got worried over an unfamiliar pain. You would be concerned more of other effects of an attack if you had had one for real.

Well, it builds up usually, though I can feel the anxiety in less than a minute, but to get to a full blown panic attack may take 10 minutes in my panic situation. I can also get out immediately by removing a source.

It should be pretty obvious, the second one was just like the first.
