Hi, I have a question... what does a panic attack feel like? I will be sitting still or even laying down and my heart will suddenly beat very hard and fast, then it feels like a knot in my throat and I have a hard time breathing. It only lasts a couple of minutes. I always thought a panic attack involved screaming and tears but if it's not a panic attack then what the heck is it? I recently got an EKG and everything was normal???

That might be a panic attack. When you have one, it feels like your throat has closed up and you can't breathe in. You end up with little gaspy breaths and you feel really scared. It sounds like you had a little one.
Take care!

Sounds like a panic attack. I used to suffer from them regularly and never screamed or cried. I would feel like you felt along with sweating, some dizziness and a horrible feeling of fear. i saw my doctor and went ti therapy and got medication which really helped me out.
