Heart attack: Emotional stress that causes a rush of catecholemines like epinephrine and norepinephrine can contribute to the onset of a heart attack. Please seek help from a doctor for your symptoms. If you can breath more slowly or into a paper bag, try to calm yourself, and feel relief of symptoms, perhaps you can see a doctor tomorrow. If not, please be taken to the emergency room to be checked out now.
