Decoding the Distinction: Heart Problems vs. Anxiety Attacks

Distinguishing between heart problems and anxiety attacks can be challenging due to overlapping symptoms. Panic attacks are characterized by abrupt changes in mental state, while heart disease symptoms, such as chest pain, are often triggered by exertion. A thorough history exam, blood pressure check, electrocardiogram, and blood tests can help in diagnosing the cause. Treatment options are available for panic disorder, but it is important to rule out cardiac or other medical conditions. The digital rectal exam has a modest benefit in detecting prostate tumors compared to the PSA test, and the decision to undergo it should be based on patient preference and understanding of the small benefit and nonexistent risk.
