An easy way to check if it's anxiety is to do some deep breathing: if the symptoms recede it's not a heart attack, because that's not controllable by breathing.
I've had a heart attack and didn't notice any change in my heart beat: my main symptom was a crushing type of chest pain radiating up into my neck and jaw and extreme tiredness.
The ambo's said my blood pressure was so high I should've been in hospital anyway even if I wasn't having a heart attack.
I reckon you're having anxiety attacks, but it wouldn't hurt to have your heart checked to rule that out
Is it normal that Im scared im gonna have a heart attack?
