Had a panic attack which felt like a heart attack
I am 21F. it happened day before yesterday around 9 p.m I was lying down and talking to my father when I felt something maybe a jump, a pinch or panic idk exactly what to call it on the left side of the chest i ignored it then I felt it again, it made be alert. I stood up and I felt a stretch of a very mild pain spreading through my left arm then my jaw so I started walking that if anything happens I will be among people then i started feeling compression in head. Then Lucky I stabilize myself instantly I was normal but I was scared I am having a heart attack, I have no history of smoking or alcohol consumption. Still I went to the hospital in emergency they checked me and said everything is fine and I also had a fever. They did my ecg twice the first time I had sinus rhythm, short PR interval (111ms) and inverted t waves. When they did it the second time there was no inverted t waves PR interval was still 111ms rest everything else was fine. they said it was a panic attack but really it scared the shit out of me. Tomorrow there will be an ultrasound of my heart hopefully everythin will be ok.
But yeah this week was too much for me idk what was happening with me. First in this week itself I was having difficulty in sleeping for the past 4 days. The night it all started i was having difficulty in sleeping it was around 3 am I was lying on my bed and felt mild shortness of breat then I sat up I as my roommate to hold me I also felt dizziness but I was ok in 1 min. Then I became scared of sleeping. I went to doc they said low Bp and dehydration she gave me energy injections. still I was not able to sleep that day so I took one sleeping pills and omg I am never gonna do that again ever. It made my anxiety worse did not suit me at all. that day I was only able to sleep for 1 and a half hour the day prior to this also I slept for only 2 hours, that too with a lot of efforts. Then around 10 pm I found out that I also had fever.
from the next day, lucky my sleeping cycle was getting better the I slept for 4 hours but during the night around 3:30 am I woke up and I honestly don’t remember what I did but as per my roommate i sat up and was breathing heavily did not shout or anything but yeah I woke up as if I saw a very scary dream then this episode happened.
hopefully everything will be alright now. I am able to sleep please fully but still kind of scared of the what ifs.
