Psychiatrist Questions Emergency room

Should I go to the ER for panic attacks?

I'm a 41-year-old man and I get panic attacks from time to time. They often come with severe chest pain, but they eventually pass as the panic attack passes. Should I go to the ER though if I'm experiencing these panic attacks?

If you know it is a panic attack- no! If not sure then yes!
If you know it is a panic attack, you can practice your breathing techniques. No need to go to the ER.
