Hi Meg
Panic attacks can be really frightening - the physical symptoms they produce feel so real.
Heart Block is a type of arrythymia (irregular heart beat) some people don't even know they have it as it may not cause any symptoms or problems.
I would suggest speaking to your GP to see if you need a referral to a cardiac specialist. I know this is easy for me to say but try not to get too worry or stressed.
