Panic/ anxiety: Now , that heart attack has been ruled out, you are probably aware that the ER won't be where you will be getting your care. I encourage you to see your PCM to rule out any metabolic causes. Additionally, please consider seeing a therapist to address these symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be especially helpfu.
