Was eating breakfast this morning when I started having a cramping sensation in my chest, trouble breathing, and feelings of lightheadedness. The staff at the dining hall I was at called the paramedics and now I'm at UT medical center. They say I was probably dehydrated or similar. Blood pressure and heartbeat levels are normal.

Anyone ever have this happen to them? I'm scared to death. I'm 21; this shouldn't be happening.

Sounds like anxiety.

Did they do an ekg? My son had similar symptoms, and it turned out to be wolfe-parkinson-white syndrome. Only showed up on one ekg out of many, so it was a fluke they even caught it.

Just did. Waiting on the results.

What in the world is wolfe-parkinson-white syndrome?

Sounds like a panic attack.

As someone who suffered/s from an anxiety disorder, panic attacks feel VERY similar to a heart attack. When I first started having them I felt like I was dying.

I have anxiety as well and take medication for it. Any way to limit or control them? This scared the absolute ever living sh.it out of me.

I was diagnosed with the disorder and medicated in the same trip. I thought I had a heart condition.

I took paroxetine (paxil) for two years and it almost ruined my life besides making me fat. I quit taking it cold turkey and suffered through the ridiculous six week withdrawal period of electric shock sensations in my brain, vivid nightmares and random bouts of vertigo.

I've just developed a better sense of what causes stress in my life and have improved how I deal with said stress. I haven't had a panic attack in over two years and haven't taken any medication over the same time frame. As a reference , before I was medicated I was having a panic attack multiple times a day, everyday.

If your family has a history of heart conditions, keep it checked. Even if they do diagnose you  with anxiety, stay on top of it. I was wrongly diagnosed with fibro in my early 30's and had a heart attack at 37. It almost cost me my life, because I waited to go to the hospital thinking it was just fibro acting up. In actuality, I had blockages, but my dr ignored my family's heart history and blew it off because of my age.

      Think the "official time" put out was 4.48, but there were a lot of scouts there who of course all had difference times as it's all handed timed by them.  Think I saw it as low as 4.43 and as high as 4.62 or something, but in the end it's all basically the same speed because 40 yard dash is so pointless. Anyone who complains about his speed is just someone who wants a Chase/Jefferson/Nabers style #1 as opposed to an Evans style #1 who isn't going to beat you because of his speed but his other abilities. In the end, he's fast enough for a player his size and surprisingly quicker and more agile than people give him credit for too. The real problem is that Panthers fans can't get our past big WR failures out of their head, they hear "big WR" and automatically see a plodding KB or Jarrett in their minds and assume that's also T-Mac.

      If you are buying Silver Club, 300 level, try and the buy ones that have the Lot 1 parking pass.  it is steps to the stadium Also, buy on the shade side my PSls used to be section 342, under the overhang.  I didnt care about sun or rain plenty of sites have interactive  maps that can show you   Just know, if they are opposite side of 342, the sun will beat on your head…endzones too.   if, you know for sure that you are going, and you need a hotel room, do it now  you can always cancel … remember, even if the panthers suck,  the national press follows them as do their fans.  Hotel rooms go fast for that game
