Voting Question: Panic attack or heart attack?

August 15th, 2009 | by admin | Voting Question: Panic attack or heart attack?
Just this past saturday I got sensations thinking I had something wrong with my heart or chest. Today they happened again so I went to see a medical proffesional who ran a few tests. He said my heart looked fine and since I am only 17 I shouldn’t be at risk for a heart attack. My family has a history of panic attacks and there are some signs that I may be having them as well. On occasion I feel a strong palpatation in the heart area and tightness in my chest as well as back pain and feeling like I am going to be sick. I know the doctor said I am okay but I am really scared. I feel like crying but when I do i feel almost worse. Should I get a second opinion or start looking for a therapist? Where do I even look for a therapist who can handle panic attacks correctly? Im scared. I don’t know what to do.
