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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
