    Yes we all are suffering from this situation Following are some of the stuffs i do:

    1) Accept that i have a disroder , because all my test are good and postive , but my mind is not accepting , So I ACCEPT I HAVE A DISRODER

    2) When ever i feel like i am getting panic , I will start controlling the breath before it over takes , take a deep breath but flush out slowly , this will make sure you are flushing the cardondioxide in controlled , Dont ever breath out fast while we body enter into panic mode

    3) Understand I am not alone .....

    4) Meditate and complete surrender to almighty , 

    5) We all came here , I dont know from where i came , so i should not worry where i am going

    Heya, I know the feeling, I am currently going through the same thing with pains in my left arm feeling out of breath and chest pains I have been the doctors a billion times and they have all said to me that it is generalised anxiety disorder too and I just can't seem to believe them and keep needing reassurance from different doctors it's ridiculous x

    I'm absolutely terrified. I'm a bit younger then you guys, Howver I have the same symptoms. It's been happening for 3 months. I'd get a weird feeling in my chest..like a tightness, and I'd feel bit of pain in my left arm/shoulder, and every time I'd feel that, I'd have a panic attack and jump up from what I was doing, and run around, trying to stop myself from dying, or at least, in that moment, that's what I Think I'm doing.

    It just happened maybe...10 minutes ago?? I had a panic attack, and went to google for help, and it just worsened the feeling. It's so scary.....no one understands ether. I told my mom I feel weird, and that I need help, but she just thinks I'm over reacting. I cry myself to sleep often. She doesn't notice ever. I'm always sad for no reason. It doesn't make any sense, but it happens...and I have no one to turn to. My dad has Morphen's Syndrome...and he tells me I'm in danger of getting what he has, and it scares me, and causes me to have panic attacks. Like right now I'm really terrified. My mother had colon/rectum cancer..and...I'm just terrified of...getting a heart disease and being told I do..

      Eileen i know exactly what you mean... ive been to the e.r. and doctor so many times for chest pain my father will literally get mad at me for freaking out. In the moment its hard to control the fear, once the anxiety or panic takes over its hard to control yourself. Best thing you can do is go to your doctor and tell them whats happening. I currently take Vistaril 25mg 2 ti.es a day as needed. Its not the greatest but it does help. You just need to remember that panic can not and will not kill you. Everyday i have pain in my left shoulder blade and upper arm and chest pain in my left peck area. Its gotten so bad i carry an aspirin container everywhere with me. And two in my hand. Whenever i feel pain i eat a piece of it. Its horrible and i cant continue doing this because im hurting my body in the process. You need to seek medical help no natter what your mother does and says. You need to assert yourself and say mom i need help. I hope you seek the help
