Was it a Panic Attack or Heart Attack? ER Visit Needed?
I had a situation that was probably a panic attack but it was similar to a heart attack and I already have hypertension so I'm really worried. I want to figure out whether it was a panic attack or should I go to the ER.

It is important to consult your doctor immediately if you suffer symptoms like heart attack even if you are a hypertension patient. It could be a panic attack, but why take a chance and ignore any heart-related conditions that might be ruled out. Please see a cardiologist for detailed diagnosis and advice.
