How To Confirm A Panic Attack?

Im a 19 year old female.I weigh 142 and my height is 5ft. I was born with a heart murmur but i do not know if it has closed or not. But yesterday i recently experienced a pain. It felt as if someone was grabbing my insides and squeezing them. I felt as if i could not breathe but i knew i could. Luckily, i was at my grandmother's house, and she told me i was having a Panic Attack. So she gave me Zantax or something by that name. I went to lay down and when i did, i felt my heart beat fast. But it wasn't your normal fast. Then all of a sudden it started to beat normal again. Why is that?

Hi There
I have read your details properly and I understand your concern. If I would be your treating doctor I would like to ask you that whether you were doing something stressful that time or you were worried about something if not then there is nothing to trigger a panic attack.
Now regarding your murmur I would like to suggest you to consult a physician in person and also I would like to do an ECG and ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY to rule out any structural or fuctional defect that can cause a murmur.
If you were tensed at that time then probably that stress have triggered the fast heart rate.

Wish You Good Health
