Can severe anxiety mimic heart attacks symptoms of chest discomfort palpitations breathless and lightheaded?

YES IT CAN: Yes this is the common issue with panic attacks that it feels like a heart attack but you also want to rule out physical things and any cardiac issues. If these are ruled out then the possible of a panic attack is definitely possible. Do deep breathing and relaxation and seek a therapist to help. If this does not work can get medications
