I have panic attacks pretty regularly and I get heart/chest pains on and off for maybe a few seconds at the most but for the past 10 to 15 min. I've had a dull ache in my heart area and in my shoulder. Should I be worried or is it just part of a panic attack?

I recently had an EKG and all kinds of blood work done and everything was fine.

it's a part to the panic attack..you're heart rate increase and your breathing increase to keep up with your heart to make sure you get enough oxygen.

It could be part of it. I had a few panic attacks some time ago before I was to embark in a long trip, and I remember I got some chest pain, along with fast heartbeat and extreme anxiety. I even got nausea. I feel your pain, I hope you'll be able to reduce these panic attacks, they're certainly not good. Anyway, you should tell a doctor about it.

I have read some litterature about panic attacks. But they allways seem to have a more scientific approach and that is nothing I need in my struggle to survive those horrible panic attacks. This is a "hand on" and very practical book. I felt it was written to me. I am sure that you are going to feel the same.
Joe Barry writes exactly how I think. The examples are perfectly described. And the method is genius. I recommend this book and thanks Joe Barry for writing it. It changes your life

Yes I get that pain down my arm too, I am fine. my heart will hurt so bad, If I hit it, and breath slow, it will go away, and drink lot's of water, and I just had a panic attack at 9 tonight,my mind thought I couldn't breath, and my heart beat was at super speed, it's this Christmas season, it's stressing me out, you know.
meds help me out with my attacks though

Yes, you can have chest pains(angina) with a panic attack. However, if this is a new symptom for you, it would be a good idea to have it checked out with your doctor.

It could be just something associated with the panic attack but it could also mean something more serious so don't dealy and go see your doctor about it....there are medication that can control your panic attacks...

If it is radiating into the shoulder...go to the ER. Better safe than sorry. Tightness in the chest is panic, radiating into the shoulder could mean more serious things...Please do not take chances.
