Panick attacks come on suddenly and unexpectly then rapidly subside over around an hour,and in their postneogenisis they become associated with certain events.they symptoms can includee tighness of chest with little pain and choking feeling but in absence of anxiety it is Higly unlikely.I would be looking for more physical causes and get off XANAX ASAP.
have u found anything out yet?
This does not sound like panic attacks to me. There are doctors who specialize in pain management. I suggest you ask your doctor for a referral to a pain specialist.
Hi
If it were me I'd want a cat scan. They cost about $700 I've heard. You never know about strange pains; I'm the kind of nut who would think a pair of scissors or some surgical instrument were left inside during surgery (lawsuit time)? It's too bad we have to go to different kinds of doctors for mysterious pains and often the doctors wind up scratching their heads in bewilderment themselves. No way I'd go to the same type of dr. twice; I'd go to a different kind of a doc each time.
As far as panic is concerned, I cannot fathom someone "wondering if" he has had a panic attack. People do wonder, though; as if they just don't know the symptoms. I mean, if you're overcome with unfounded fear to the point that you're panting and your chest hurts, that's a panic attack.
