I haven't had a panic attack for over two weeks but today my heart started sinking and I keep getting a funny feeling like my breath is been taken from my throat. I don't have any pain but I'm so scared I'm going to have a heart attack as my heart won't stop palpitations. When I'm distracted they stop but then as soon as I think 'oh I haven't had that feeling for a few mins' it comes straight back I know this sounds odd but I tend to have these feeling and panic attacks more when I have my period? I'm 22. Any advice much appreciated

I suffer with health anxiety so anything that's not normal for me sends me into complete melt down mode. Since January this year I have left arm.pain chest pains and shortness of breath. I have had the basic test and I'm told I'm.fine but every day I'm convinced I have a heart condition.
I think this time must be it.
I'm on medications can't say I've noticed a difference. I just don't know what to think anymore they say know ur body ect ect and I truly believe there is something wrong with me physically and the doctors are wrong cos let's be honest they misdiagnosed patients all the time. But again that's what anxiety does makes u believe somethings real when it's not

I do take BP meds & it is controlled. NOW I am waking up about 5 a.m.with shortness of breath. I take a nerve pill & it gets better. But I am getting afraid to go to bed......
Thursday I see the cardiologist again & I have an idea he will order some test. I dread. I worry about having a heart cath...but for sure I bet I have to do a stress test and or echo cardiogram. It is all the waiting.
If I am told it is anxiety I can then deal with that. What tests did you have done? We know we can't live forever but I would like to in good health Wishing calmness to all because anxiety is such a burden to carry around.
