What Do Cramps In The Upper Abdomen Indicate?
Good morning. The question is: I m experiencing cramps in my upper stomach area along with cramps in my hands. Along with this, I m experiencing shallow breathing, not passing out but as if I m going to stop breathing. They come more frequent, as I was in the ER yesterday, only to be told I m experiencing panic attacks. Could this be something other than panic attacks, and if so, what? Thank you.

I'm my opinion it could most probably be panic attacks. have they checked hemoglobin , electro cardiogram and thyroid function
for panic attacks it is necessary to treat with anti depressants and small dose benzodiazepines
