Hi, I am new and found this board while I was looking up panic attacks. I am 37 years old and used to get mild panic attacks, heart racing, feeling like your not there, sweating palms and then exhausted. I do smoke and ocassionally have a drink, not lately though. My father passed away from lung cancer at the age of 73 and my mother passed away from a heart attack at the age of 46. Two years ago I had a stress test and an angiogram done because I had a mild pain on my left side. Everything came out fine.
About a month ago, at night I had a flutter feeling in my chest and then a hot surge that lasted only a couple of seconds, my heart was pounding/racing and I had real bad trembling shakes and was cold. It lasted about 10 minutes and scared me. The next day I still felt bad. I felt like there is something in my chest, maily under my ledt rib that should not be there. A couple days later the same thing happened. I went to the doctor told him everything that happened and he listened to my heart and lungs and said I was fine. I do not have health insurance anymore. A couple times after that I have felt my heart pound, like it was going to jump out of my chest and I would feel the hot surge but can kind of calm myself down. I feel very nervous most of the time and I have that feeling that something is still under my rib. I was just wondering if this was a panic attack?
Thanks!
