People often mistake a panic attack for a heart attack. It is a good rule of thumb to have it checked out because it might be a heart attack. It is better to be embarrassed then dead.

Phobias can cause a panic attack however are limited to the object of the phobia.
Treatment options include learning how to relax and empty your mind. Medications can also be helpful. For more information or help contact me at www.brighterdays4you.com
