Yep it can: 100% Yes. I can tell you from my experience in the hospital, Anxiety attacks can look and be as painful as a true heart attack. Proper management is needed that include behavioral changes, lifestyle and medications Cheers C

Actually, yes: It's amazing what anxiety can do! Have medical tests and if results are negative for lung problems or heart issues - it leaves anxiety as a prime suspect. The good news will be that 1. you now know'll you are healthy in important ways and 2. CBT therapy works well for learning anxiety mgmt skills. It's a good thing!
