My daughter has had panic attacks unexplainable health problems, sore throats, sweating, pains, panic attacks, she started Biofeedback, doctors say stress, when she is sitting down her heart rate is great, she is relaxed, when she stands up the biofeedback practioner checked her heart rate for 15 minutes, it was at 150-200.  We looked up, IST, it sound like her, would it be wise to go to a cardiac specialist?

It probably is.  It requires detailed history, physical, and some times other tests to distinguish between panic attacks and other causes of fast heart rates and even then sometimes it is very difficult.  It is reasonable to see a specialist and at the very least will help rule out potential heart problems.

I hope this helps.
