General Medical Question - Non Urgent - panic attack?

[harreg]

errm i duuno if this is in the right place so sorry if it isn't, and this is kinda random but is worrying me. im probably being stupid.

well over the last sort of 4 months or so i have a sudden very fast heart beat as tho i've been doing strenuous exersize, but havent :s. it continues in this way for about 30secs to maybe 2 mins, then abruptly returns to normal heart beat in a instant. i can be left out of breath, sometimes i sweat alot in this period of time aswell. it can also be when im nervous as i do get very nervous but is this a panic attack?? can anyone give me any information maybe??

thanks alot xx

Those are symptoms of a panic attack for a lot of people especially as you say it's combined with feeling nervous however things like heart palpitations etc can also cause the heart symptoms so I would advise going to see your GP.

yeah as katy said those are symptoms of a panic attack but its worth speaking to your gp who can arrange tests to make sure nothing more sinster is going on.
