Hi everyone. I’ve been experiencing panic attacks for the last month. Today I was over at my neighbor’s for dinner and halfway through I felt a panic attack coming on. I got up and went to the bathroom and ran some cold water over my wrists. The panic attack never came but I’m stuck in this awful feeling where I feel like it’s coming but it’s not. I have anxiety, elevated heart rate, and pain in my left chest. I’ve been to the ER twice in the last month thinking that panic attacks were heart attacks, so I’ve gotten EKGs, blood tests, etc and they’ve all come back negative despite feeling physically awful. I’m trying to calm down but every time I feel the pain in my chest it exasperates my anxiety. I’ve tried deep breathing and ice pack on my chest. Nothing is working. Any advice? I was prescribed Ativan 0.5 mg but I avoid taking it. Will taking some help with the chest pain? I can’t take it anymore.
