Suggest Treatment For Panic Attacks Causing Chest Pain

I have been having panic attacks for some time and and a month ago I went to emergency room after having chect pain on the left side under my breast bone. They check EKG, xray, blood test and everything came back normal. Today I feel like someone plug me in the electricity, feel the same chest pain and sometimes hurts when I exhale deeply. All crazy things are going through my head and I am afraid of falling a sleep.

Hello,

Your symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart, but to panic attacks. You should know that panic attacks may mimic all this clinical situation.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a specialist in this field (psychiatrist, psychotherapist) to help improve your situation.

In the meantime, I would recommend practising Yoga and Meditation. It is also important for avoiding caffeine and alcohol intake.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
