@mfreer87 I was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and spent 5 hrs in the ER so they are well aware of what happened. We did many many tests. This was not a minor incident by any means which is why I'm so scared of it happening again 😫 My symptoms were exactly like a pulminary embolism but there was no sign of a clot.

Yes, it can happen even when you’re not stressed. It just randomly takes over you and you feel completely lost. It could also be your hormones since they’re all over the place when you’re pregnant. I try to stay as calm as possible and count to ten when it happens and wait until it goes away. It still wouldn’t hurt to give your primary doctor a call and let them know. If it happens again and you feel strongly that it could be a possible heart attack, please go to your nearest hospital and don’t wait on it. Even if it means showing up a couple of times in a month. It’s better to be safe than sorry! I hope you feel better!

@mfreer87 Can they happen even when you are not stressed? Did you go into a state of shock with your panic attack? I've never had one. I've had anxiety after my second son but it was nothing like that either. Maybe my hormones freaked out on me causing a panic attack? 🤷‍♀️

Sounds like a panic attack and it’s very scary. Just like you said, it’s like having a heart attack. I’ve gone to the ER several times last year for the same reason. We couldn’t figure out what it was, I took a stress test, CT scan of my heart, checked my blood for blood clots, GI cocktail for a possible acid reflux, and nothing. Everything came back negative. Fortunately, I don’t have events of panic attacks anymore. It’s a scary thing, it really feels like you’re dying and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. 😣

@roguemommyofjx3 Ugh so frustrating! Sorry you've gone through the same thing, it is definitely a scary feeling and not knowing why is not easy on the mind!

@ashley.e I've had that when I wasn't pregnant. My arm went numb too they said it was unexplained. They then prescribed me some placebo ass meds cuz they didn't believe me.

@roguemommyofjx3 No. It was very bizarre, I was at my parents house watching the kids play outside, literally relaxing when the attack came out of nowhere. It literally felt like a heart attack, or so I would think, but wasn't according to tests.

Anxiety?
