Anyone else with panic attacks and anxiety attacks feel like their hearts are gonna stop suddenly or when you stand it feels like you're gonna pass out

Most effect way out of broken heart syndrome is crying hysterically to let out all of those emotions. Let them flow like blood out of a slit artery. This combined with shake therapy, should completely relax your nervous system. You'll know it worked if you feel very sleepy afterwards.
IMO, crying is the true fountain of youth. Just gotta overcome the conditioning that causes most people to fear the stigma and embarrassment associated with crying.

Well I endured child abuse by my mom, domestic abuse by my ex husband, and stress of being a single mom. I did drink a little and at good food not health foods. Now at 51 I walk 10 miles a day and eat healthy.

I was hoping he would mention cortisol which is I believe a hormone that is released when a human is stressed out or any animal I guess. That cortisol increase can possibly create an environment for a heart attack to occur.

About seven or eight years back I was delivering flowers on Mother's Day or Valentine's Day I forget, and I had a lot of plants and flowers to deliver, it was very stressful driving because the people are driving slowly and I had a lot to deliver so I got stressed out. I momentarily felt pain in my left arm and I felt flush and pale. I pulled up to the red light and put the car in park, closing my eyes, laying back in my seat with slow intentional deep breaths. It finally wore off and I took my time delivering the flowers for the rest of the route. LOL but that was kind of scary.

However, for the people who feel scared reading this, don't worry, what will happen if you do get a heart attack is that even though you will feel some pain in the beginning you'll pass out from lack of oxygen, so you won't feel the full force of the pain when you pass on. You ask how do I know this? Because I kind of felt a little light-headed at first.

Good luck! 😇
