Hi, Long story short

6 weeks ago i was coimg to home driving car and my heart started poundung and felt like i am having heart attack and i stoped the car and managed to went to nearest shop they called me an ambulance and i was short of breath and shaking and on and on... Paramadis came and put the ecg machine and check blood pressure and it was ok thats what they said and the they bring me to ER and had blood test and chest X-Ray everything was normal and then they send me after week for stress test it was ok but because of family heart hostory my cardiologist sent me for Heart angiogram and everything was ok.

My Dr put me on citalopram 10mg for (anxiety/panic) now i am on week 5.

My anxity and panic is low now but my neck and jaw is always numb and slight pain and i have light/foogy head too???

Please share or advise.

      Most people say it takes at least five to six weeks, I decided not to take the pills so I been learning coping skills and breathing exercises. The reason I decided not to take the pills is because pills only masks the problem. I want to cure this forever. I know exactly how you feel, is terrying and hard to understand at first. Learning how to breath makes your life better.

    You should let your doctor whats going on. Let the doctor deciede if its medicine related or a different issue or from stress. Thats the smartest route here. Then learn cognitive behavioral therapy.
