A member asked:

I have panic disorder, see a therapist and have had my heart checked which is said to be healthy. since last july i battle panic attacks every day. i have chest pain and palpitations. how do i cope?

Get a heart check up: Getting a stress test may help alleviate your fears. Once you are certain no heart issues are present, then it becomes a matter of either counseling, group therapy, or medication therapy.
