Wow hugs to you. I had those same symptoms my heart was in a-fib it took me several visits to the ER and Dr's to figure that out. They gave me pain killers to stay calm and even benadryl. Today not near as intense attacks so I get quiet often. Good luck

Yes I was tested for Strokes and they said nothing like that but now my right temple comes out in a lump and that seems to drive my Stress Attacks. I am also finding that I am struggling to eat. I use to eat loads but now struggle to finish a Childs meal and that is the only meal that I have during the day as I don't want anything else then.
