These can cause : The symptoms... Hyperventilating and surging stress hormones such a epinephrin and norepinephrine can reduce the blood flow to your heart and brain giving you a feeling of impending doom... With all said and done, you need a proper medical work up to ensure that you have a healthy heart!
