Does Sharp Dull Stabbing Chest Pain Indicate Panic Or Anxiety Attacks?
I have been having sharp dull stabbing pains in my chest especially when I exercise and it stops my breathing for like a second. Then it s like I m under water trying to hear what people are saying. Am I having panic or anxiety attacks? If so, is it dangerous because it happens alot?

Hello,
I don't think this is related to panic and anxiety attacks. Most probably it is related to heart angina a pain of chest caused when heart muscle is not being oxygenated properly producing pain.
You should do an ECG, heart ultrasound and exercise effort examinations. Visit a cardiologist about it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
