Im a 19 year old female.I weigh 142 and my height is 5ft. I was born with a heart murmur but i do not know if it has closed or not. But yesterday i recently experienced a pain. It felt as if someone was grabbing my insides and squeezing them. I felt as if i could not breathe but i knew i could. Luckily, i was at my grandmothers house, and she told me i was having a Panic Attack. So she gave me Zantax or something by that name. I went to lay down and when i did, i felt my heart beat fast. But it wasnt your normal fast. Then all of a sudden it started to beat normal again. Why is that?
Hi Their have read your details properly, and I understand your concern. If I was your treating doctor I would like to ask you that whether you were doing something stressful that time or you were worried about something if not then there is nothing to trigger a panic attack. Now regarding your murmur I would like to suggest you to consult a physician in person, and also I would like to do an ECG and ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY to rule out any structural or fictional defect that can cause a murmur. If you were tensed at that time then probably that stress has triggered the fast heart rate. Wish You Good Health
