PS>As Mike said a few days ago, what manifests itself as
a heart attack could be panic and vice versa.
Yes. People with symptoms that could be a panic attack should see
their GP.
PS>Take it from me, don't research panic attacks. Don't suggest
to a doctor that you might be having them, and for goodness
sake, if you REALLY believe that you have a physical problem,
don't stop exhausting the tests that will rule out the problems.
I don't entirely agree about the research point**, but I do agree with
the rest. I add, from my own experience, that if you fall and hurt your
head and a doctor asks if you remember the fall, you should say no.
If asked whether you remember the moments just before the fall,
say no. That way there's a fighting chance the doctor/s won't miss
concussion and you'll get a chance to lie down and rest and --
with even more luck.. -- get the investigations you need.
**I do understand why you say this, though.
