They make me feel like don't even care. I 'am worried sick about this pain. Does anybody have this, and recommend anything. Thanks:) Amy

Answers:
panic and anxiety attacks can create heart type symptoms.i know from exp.......if dr you trust have ruled out physical,plez try psychiatric intervention...a good psychologist/therapist may help...if severe,meds may be appropriate.after 20 plus yrs w these attacks i had one that sent me by ambulance to er and a battery of tests...to confirm a panic attack
everytime it hurst try a little breathing exercise and keep the thought that it hurts away. think positive
