Hello. I'm a 34 year old female, overweight with a history of panic attacks starting four years ago after the sudden death of my mother followed by other traumatic events. I had countless ER visits, eventually being seen by cardiologists, gastro doctors, and my family physician. I was diagnosed with a trace tricuspid leak, that was considered normal by my cardiologist. All other tests were normal. Even though I've been told I'm medically okay, I continue to fear something is really wrong and just not diagnosed correctly. In my mind I know how horrible that sounds but the fear exists. My panic attacks are rare, about three or four a year. Tonight I was sitting, relaxing and all of a sudden I had this fear of dying, my heart started racing and I was extremely frightened. It passed within minutes and now I'm fine with the exception of being tired. Is this classic anxiety? I guess I just need some support and feedback on this. I'm a professional, with a good amount of stress - these attacks never occur when I'm busy or my mind occupied, it is always when I'm in a "relaxed" environment - maybe my mind is bored? Any advice or support is greatly appreciated.
