this all started yesterday when i had barely had any sleep and thought it would be smart to have a really strong coffee (i’m really sensitive to caffeine and it causes panic attacks for me) and so i had so much nervous energy and had a massive panic attack in class where my chest felt like it was being squeezed and i could breathe and was super dizzy from hyperventilating. that panic attack eventually went away after an hour, but then i had another a few hours later that lasted for a while and my chest got super constricted again. i had that tight chest feeling when i was laying in bed and i was trying to keep myself awake because i was too scared to sleep. eventually i calmed down and it went away. i’ve been pretty good all today until now. i usually get really anxious in the evening. i’ve had squeezing in both my arms and stomach and chest and my throat occasionally tightens too. i’m worried it’s heart related. i’ve never really dealt with this symptom before.

does anybody else experience this tension? it’s freaking me out
