Is it a Panic Attack Or a Heart Attack?

What’s Really Happening During a Panic Attack : 

What’s Really Happening During a Panic Attack The physical symptoms of a panic attack are triggered by an offset in breathing (usually hyperventilation). Your heart isn’t being strained. It’s being thrown into a natural fight or flight response.

Common Symptoms : 

Common Symptoms Chest pain from a heart attack is focused in the center of the chest and is crushing, as if a heavy weight is sitting on top of the chest. It is usually persistent, may radiate to the left arm, neck or back and lasts longer than 5 - 10 minutes.

Subtle Differences : 

Subtle Differences In Heart Attacks, tingling is confined to the left arm. Panic Attacks create an “all over” tingling sensation Heart Attacks are often accompanied with vomiting or diarrhea. Panic attacks may cause nausea, but vomiting is rare.

Subtle Differences : 

Subtle Differences Hyperventilation almost always precedes panic attack symptoms Chest pain from heart attacks will usually go away and then reappear minutes later. Panic Attack chest pain is constant until it subsides.

Cut Down on Stress : 

Cut Down on Stress No matter what, stress is NEVER good for your overall health so it’s important to start treating your panic and anxiety right away. The truth is if you’re not a smoker, you don’t have high blood pressure, obesity, have a family history of heart attack, your risk should be very low.
