I completely understand what your going through. I just got my first panic attack this summer, June 19th, and after a tiny period of no symptoms, they came back again in full force on July 25th, which was my second panic attack. Well, since that day my symptoms haven't really gone away. The are terrifying to say the least. I cry all the time because I feel like I'm going to leave my family and friends and die any second. I have so many symptoms: I get dizzy, out of breath, chest/rib pain for very long periods of time, sore muscles, back pain, shoulder pain, jaw/toothache, inner and outer body tingles, chest tickles that cause a cough, extreme fatigue and weakness, and extremely fast, terribly freighting heart palpitations that last all day and all night. I'm just so worried. I know that this doesn't help, but how can you not think about it?! I keep thinking it has to be something far more serious, not just anxiety. But I'm only about to enter my senior year in high school, so I feel too young to have anything more serious. My best advice is to keep seeing your Dr. and getting tests to rule out a heart problem. If that's ruled out, you can ask to be evaluated to try and be diagnosed with anxiety; But that too takes time and is treated like any other condition, such as depression. Being evaluated for anxiety/a heart problem is what I'm currently in the process of doing. All I want to say is that your definitely not alone. So many people fall victim to this terrifying anxiety; and I we know how difficult it is to try and tell the difference between something serious, and just anxiety.

oh I understand and know how you must feel... i too fear the same fears thinking im dying cant breathe well I yawn alot too to get a deepo breathe..... I have the heart flutters but nit as bad since I dragged myself last year to the cardioligist because they were so bad i knew that something was wrong well after all the terrifing test my heart was perfecty they said it likes to go fast but fine!

I suffer from panic attacks and you sound alot like i did when I had them all day long it was as if I was trying to control my breathing every minute every day! which would cause my face to tingle, chest pains heart palps, left arm pain and dizzy! i too never passed out but felt like I was all the time.

I am suffering with bad anxiety to and I know everyone says  not to worry or to stop thinking about all the bnad stuff I hear it every day... and it is the hardest thing ever! I too cant stop, though I try and I get so angry at myself because I cant control this but know that I and many many others feel your pain and truly understand! you might want to have your thyroid checked! full panel it will cause your symptoms and anxiety! I have a bad thyroid which is a underlying cause and certainly makes the anxiety and symptoms worse especially   the pounding heart and palps! just a thought!!!  iam here if you need to talk

i'm very sorry you seem to be going through such a tough time with your anxiety. i know how terrible it can make you feel. but my suggestion is to read the syptoms in your own post...because they describe many different diseases but the most likely problem is that your body is just beat up from the intense anxiety...right? you know  you have bad anxiety....and when you think about what bad anxiety does inside your body it makes perfect sense to be feeling all the things you're feeling. worrying about them is what keeps the cycle going, though. and i know it's so much easier to say 'quit worrying about it' than it is to actually quit worrying about it...but thats kind of the starting point. slowly try to teach yourself not to worry about your bodily symptoms. if they've been checked out by the doc...then you know that the likely cause is simply the physical symptoms of anxiety. thats where i suggest to start. it's not a cure-all...but it may help a little.
