Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here... My son has told me the following story and I am thinking it extremely exaggerated and not right.... \"i had a panic attack that lead to a mild heart attack. the paramedics gave me nitro 3 separate times. my BP was 197/111. they told me that the nitro brought me out of the palpitations and opened up my heart to relieve the pain. i have to see a specialist but im ok.\"  Should I be concerned?
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms could be related to a panic attack, but the fact that nitro helped improve your situation, raise suspicions on a possible coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia. For this reason, I would recommend performing a cardiac stress test. A coronary Anglo CT scan or nuclear perfusion cardiac stress test may be needed. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
