Scariest thing happened last night, all started with rib/chest pain, didn’t think much of it, started panicking I guess, plus I was seeing someone I never met before (car date)

Anyway, my heart went to about 130, I feel I couldn’t walk properly and my legs felt really week, I was breathless partially to, not to bad, but breathless, I got in the car my heart rate slowed right down, back to a normal pace, about 75/80 even tho it’s normally around 50 with rest, she started driving and I got really hot my face was hot to touch, I started sweating all over my body, and this came in waves(the sweating) with that I had chest pain a tiny bit, barely there but I could feel it, and breathless or a sensation in my throat kind of feeling, after an hour it went and my chest pain came back for 5 mins then left to

Hopefully you are feeling better now my friend. What you described is a classicepisode of panic attack, of course when you were in the middle of the thing, you think it could be a heart attack (even you went through this many times). The chest pain, which started the episode, is caused by chest wall muscular tension, the follow-up symptoms: fast heart rate, breathless, sweating, tight throat, and wobbly legs ... are caused by stressful nerves. We knew it, but we still fall into the trap.
