Is fluttering in chest, lightheadedness and acid reflex due to panic attacks?
human
I have been having panic attacks and take Zanc but every now and then I have this fluttering or flapping in my chest right above my breast bone. It feels like something is opening and closing.It makes lose my breath and i get very upset and have a real weird feeling down my body. I then get light headed. I get acid reflex immediately after and burning sensation in my upper back and throat. Is this something to worry about or is this due to panic attacks. i am 55 years old, weight 121 and 4ft 10in. I quit smoking 3 years ago. On no other medications except for Vitamin D

HiiI admire you for positive outlook.Yes the symptoms it self suggestive of panic attack.But before it we have to rule out cardiac problem so please consult physician and if all reports come normal then we stamp it as panic attack.Require treatment to control panic attack.I prefer SSRI mainly paroxetine and clonazepam combintion for better control.apart from medicine following will helpful.Fix daily schedule and stick on it.exercise meditationdeep breathing and hyperventilationproper sleepstress free activitydo pleasurable activitymusic and hobbiesdiscuss with friendssee all thing with different anglepositive outlookconfidence Apart from all need to treat your acid reflex also. rabeparazole is best way to control hyper acid reflex.Take care.Get well soon.
