What Causes Chest Tightness, Breathing Difficulty, Hot Flashes, Sweating And Dizziness?
Question: I am back again. I had been feeling better and suddenly morning I felt like my chest was tight and it was hard to breathe which lasted about 2 minutes. I also felt relly hot and sweated until i opened the door to the bathroom (where i had just showered). I came to work and have been feeling dizzy at times and my left pinky and back feel tight again (the way they have in the past) and i feel like i am breathing harder than usual. If you look at my previous posts, you can see yhat i have had testing done both in the ER and by a very good cardiologist (including a CT angiogram, ecgs, and bloodwork). I have had panic attacks but i can't help to fear that this is a real heart issue. Should i go to the ER? Could this be the time it is actually something despite over 5 visits in yhe past 3/4 months?

Thanks for your question.
This is definitely a panic attack. Nothing bad could've happened to your heart that fast. Try breathing exercises, guided relaxation, or listening to music to try to calm yourself down. There is no cardiac problem here!
