A member asked:
Had 3 panic attacks that lasted for more than 1hr, sudden out of nowhere. chest pain and tightness unbearable. after the first one about a month or 2 months ago had an ekg done and the result was normal. should i do another ekg or see a cardiologist?

In panic attacks it is not your heart that is the problem, but the anxiety that causes your nervous system to create specific symptoms. See your GP for an exam and tools/medication on how to control your anxiety. This will result in fewer panic attacks and the pain will go away.
