“I Can’t Breathe” – Panic Attack Symptoms That Feel Like a Heart Attack
You might be wondering:
“What is happening to me?”
One moment you’re sitting still—at work, on the couch, in bed—and the next, it hits:
Your heart pounds so hard it feels like it could burst
You can’t catch your breath
You feel dizzy or like you’ll faint
Your chest tightens
Your thoughts spiral: “Am I dying?” “Why can’t I calm down?”
These are common panic attack symptoms. They are terrifying—but they are not dangerous. And they are treatable.
If you’re in crisis, text HOME to 741741 or call the Panic Attack Hotline at 866-903-3787.
Feeling anxious all the time can lead to symptoms like trouble breathing, panic attacks, and sleep issues related to anxiety. Many people search for ways to stop a panic attack or understand panic attack symptoms, especially when they can’t sleep due to anxiety. Crisis support like the panic attack hotline and crisis text line (text HOME to 741741) offers immediate relief.
Why Do I Feel Like This All the Time?
It’s not just the panic attack. It’s the dread that one could strike any moment—at the store, in the car, during a meeting. It’s the sleepless nights, the nervous stomach, the constant tension.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (constant worry and tension)
Panic Disorder (repeated panic attacks)
Health anxiety, phobias, or social anxiety
You might be searching:
