anxiety attacks feel like heart attacks - advice?
Posted: 12-03-07 16:26pm

i've always had alittle anxiety. but for 2 months i've had full bown panic attacks. been to the emergency room a couple of times, been to my gp a couple of times, been to the cardiologist a couple of times.everything has turned up normal except hormones a little off, doc thinks pre meno may be exaggerating anxiety causing panic. My thing is , i have left arm which i had before panic attacks started. and it seems now that i get panic attacks they are worse which makes me think i'm having a heart attack which in turn starts my panic into a frenzy that i feel i can't control sometimes. sometimes i literally feel like i'm going crazy. i can't run to the er everytime my arm hurts but i don't want to have a heart attack either. what can i do. heart disease does run in my family. i have high b/p under control and high cholesterol under control i do not smoke and i exercise regularly. i take a beta blocker and xanax also an aspirin a day and vytorin.what do you think i should do.

I think this is probably more appropriate on the Anxiety/Panic forums Smile
