What Do Jitter Feeling With Racy Heart In A Person With Hypertension Suggest?
I m a 53 year o ldl female with CAD, hypertension, diastolic heart failure, hyperlipidemia and pulmonary hypertension status post CABG and 5 stents. Last night I started feeling jittery, heart racing, chest pressure and shortness of breath. Do you think this is a panic attack or cardiac?

Hi,
The symptoms felt by you look more like due to panic or anxiety attacks. However, if the symptoms are recurrent or persist for a long time, then you are advised to consult your doctor regarding your symptoms and their relationship to heart conditions, if any.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
