I think I had a massive 3 hour panic attack last night and I honestly thought I was having a heart attack, it’s been over 12 hours but my chest still hurts and feels tight and I can’t breathe great but since it’s been so long I’m probably fine right???

If the tightness in your chest was happening during the panic attack the following hurting and tightness might be your body being sore from last night

Panic attacks can create really intense physical symptoms that feel very similar to a heart attack. If you are young and healthy with no underlying conditions, it’s most likely anxiety. I know it feels very real and scary but you will be okay.

Maybe get checked out just in case? Take an aspirin if you don’t have any blood thinning issue or allergy.

Yeah I remember an er nurse straight tell me "you're too young for this shit man!!!" as they were wheeling my bed back for tests. I was LIKE YEAH NO SHIT MAN THANKS FOR THE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT 😅😭 I did have heart surgery as a child so shit SENT me. Legit came down to being a panic attack tho. They're the worst
