the first time I had a panic attack was when I was laying down in bed and I felt a sharp pain in my arm I looked up online why my arm was hurting and it said I could be having a heart attack and that's when it started. my fingers started tingling, my heart was beating very fast and I was lightheaded. I ran downstairs to my mom's room but just sat on the floor for a couple minutes. it stopped and I felt a little better and I screamed for my mom till she finally came out she told me to sit on the couch and I did and it happend again. I was scared thinking I was having a heart attack. my mom put a wet washcloth over my head and my chest was still hurting and i felt like I couldn't breathe ever couple minutes so I had my mom take me to the emergency room and they checked my heart. I had en EKG done on me and I was perfectly fine . ever since that day I've had panic attacks every day and feel like I constantly can't breathe and I have excessive amounts of mucus in my throat which does not help at all!!! I have a doctors app. Monday . I hope everyone going through this gets help. it sucks it really does and I wouldn't wish it on my worsts enemy
