Hi Michelle,
The first thing you need to do is get your anxiety under control. You may have panic disorder if you are experiencing anxiety/panic attacks. These may feel like heart attacks, but there are some differences.
What are panic attacks? When a person has a panic attack, their heart rate increases, they feel weak, sweaty, fatigued, and dizzy. It is common for sufferers to have a chilled feeling and they may have numb or tingly hands. Sufferers feel as if they have lost control as they experience smothering sensations and chest pain. Most genuinely believe that they are in the middle of a heart attack or a stroke; they have an overwhelming and frightening feeling they are going to die. Mostly they last around ten minutes each episode.
Fortunately, there are many panic attacks treatments available. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) very effective for anxiety attacks and panic disorders. This type of therapy focuses on changing your way of thinking about your problems.
One of the most successful treatments available for anxiety attacks is known as the One Move Technique. This technique teaches you to break your cycle of fear and helps to lessen the worry of another attack occurring, which is crucial to recovery from panic disorder.
