Your anxiety attacks are probably a symptom of something else, such as hypoglyciemia, diebetes, etc. You should schedule a physical and blood work up with your doctor to figure out the cause.

I did have bloodwork done as well and it was ok.
COULD my symptoms be related to pre menopause ?

I have anxiety disorders and I'm only 13. i cant get through a day without thinking I'm going to just stop breathing or pass out or even die. I have the same problem that you have with that feeling of the weight on your chest. I have had that problem for over 4 months and can assure u that its just a part of the anxiety. nothing will happen to you. i even get this when i am completely calm

If it was your heart then you would feel severe pressure in the middle of your whole chest as well as a strangling feeling and burning. it can also ac-cure in your arms/wrists

The tests which i had for my heart : Ekg -3 , xray, ultrasound, heart and stroke screening, lab, wore a 30 day heart monitor.
All came back ok. Should i dismiss the heart worry?
Thankyou

Yes anxiety can last and last or It can come and go through the years. I am going through menopause right now and have lots of anxiety attacks at any time day or night. Horrible I have been on amitriptyline for 7 years started out on 25 mg went to 50 was gaining too much weight so weaned down to 10 mg and the anxiety got worse when I went down to 10 mg but I'm hoping in time it will get better. Right now I'm having attacks daily and it has been going on for awhile. The only relief I get is 10 mg of amitriptyline.

Thankyou all for being so helpful! Lots of great answers!
