    Is it a Panic Attack or Heart Attack? Know the Difference! - Presentation Transcript

    1. Is it a Panic Attack Or a Heart Attack?
    2. What’s Really Happening During a Panic Attack
      • The physical symptoms of a panic attack are triggered by an offset in breathing (usually hyperventilation).
      • Your heart isn’t being strained.
      • It’s being thrown into a natural
      • fight or flight response.
    3. Common Symptoms
      • Chest pain from a heart attack is focused in the center of the chest and is crushing, as if a heavy weight is sitting on top of the chest. It is usually persistent, may radiate to the left arm, neck or back and lasts longer
      • than 5 - 10 minutes.
    4. Subtle Differences
      • In Heart Attacks, tingling is confined to the left arm. Panic Attacks create an “all over” tingling sensation
      • Heart Attacks are often accompanied with vomiting or diarrhea. Panic attacks may
      • cause nausea, but vomiting is rare.
    5. Subtle Differences
      • Hyperventilation almost always precedes panic attack symptoms
      • Chest pain from heart attacks will usually go away and then reappear minutes
      • later. Panic Attack chest pain is
      • constant until it subsides.
    6. Cut Down on Stress
      • No matter what, stress is NEVER good for your overall health so it’s important to start treating your panic and anxiety right away.
      • The truth is if you’re not a smoker, you don’t have high blood pressure, obesity, have a family history of heart attack,
      • your risk should be very low .
