First panic attack
I had my first panic attack tonight. I thought I was having a heart attack. I was breathing and shaking and was hot and about to faint. I thought I was going to die. Im still not sure if it was a panic attack

Oh it sounds like a panic attack to me, they are very scary.
There's some good self-care advice on that on this site.
Have you had a lot of stress going on?

Hi there!
I'm sorry that you had this experience; it sounds like it was very scary
Panic attacks can look and feel so so similar to heart attacks, which is why we always recommend you go and see your GP first to make sure that nothing else is going on.
If there's nothing else going on - know that it is a good thing! People can find ways to manage and lessen their panic attacks so that they aren't so frequent and intense.
