Suggest Treatment For Anxiety Attack

I suffer anxiety attack that make me feel like I am having a heart attack. For the past three days I have felt horrible and feel like I should go to the hospital, but my family says that it is just an attack and not to do that. Is there any way to tell the difference between the two?
