The bottom line
It can be difficult to tell the difference between a panic attack and a heart attack because many symptoms and risk factors are similar. Sometimes, how often symptoms happen and how long they last may suggest which condition is more likely — but not always. Heart attacks tend to be more common in men and older people, whereas panic attacks are more common in women and younger people, but both can happen to anyone at any age. In some people, panic attacks can lead to a heart attack, so it is always important to get emergency medical care for chest pain or shortness of breath.
