Hi Mary,

I really need Your help. I can see that it has been some time since You posted this message. Did You find out what is going on? I'm 26 yr old female and expirience exactly the same thing (plus: heart beating, sweaty and cold palms and feet, pain like a knife going through my chest, trembling etc....). I am absolutely terrified. Have You seen a doctor about this? What did he/she tell You?

I hope You feel better now.

Thanks in advance.

Ana
