I went to the ER feeling very strange about a month and 1/2 ago. He said I was having an anxiety attack. He did blood work and a urine test. How could he really tell that's what the problem was. I went to the ER again and was having a panic attack. All the doctor did was listen to my heart and told me to take one of my pills. He explained things to me, but I was so shaken up, I don't know what he said. I've been to my family doctor twice and he says my heart sounds fine. How can doctors be so sure it's anxiety without running some tests on your heart or brain? I've read the symptoms for anxiety are pretty clear cut. I don't really get chest pains and rarely does it feel like i'm suffocating. I get some gas pains under my left breast, but I've always gotten them from time to time.
