Hi,
I cannot say in your particular case, but generally, even with the most likely and least serious cause (PANIC ATTACK) you'll only be able to calm someone down AFTER they've had a thorough heart evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
