Chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, and an intense feeling of fear… These symptoms can occur during both a panic attack and a heart attack, and the two conditions are often confused. Particularly during a first episode, people may find it difficult to determine whether they are experiencing a panic attack or a heart attack. However, the causes, progression of symptoms, and approaches to treatment differ between the two conditions. Understanding the differences between a panic attack and a heart attack is important for taking the right action at the right time.

Panic disorder is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and intense anxiety. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help manage the condition.
