I went to the ER twice within 5 days for heart attack symptoms. I have a history of anxiety and drug abuse as well, so when I started to notice the pain in my chest and arm I gradually got more and more concerned over a week until it culminated in rushing to the ER After developing more extreme symptoms like hot flashes, sweating, tingling sensation all over, weakness of limbs.

I came away from it learning just how serious panic attacks can be. I had never experienced one and I guess subconsciously thought of It as a sort of minor and purely psychological event. Never would I have imagined the possibility of manifesting heart attack symptoms by worrying about it.

The ER gave me a small supply of xanax after the second visit confirmed even more that it wasn't cardiac related. A lot of they symptoms and anxiety have died down since being assured by further medical testing
