Panic attacks.: Anxiety attacks and panic attacks can certainly cause physical symptoms that can make you feel like you're having a heart attack, stroke, a headache or any of many other real medical conditions. Now thankfully in a panic attack chances are you're not having one of those, but it sure can't feel like it. This is why they can be so scary.
