A patient came into the emergency room and he thought that he was having a heart attack.
- The man did not look like he was having a heart attack, so I thought that he was entirely having a panic attack.
She was showing all of the classic signs of a panic attack, which include covered in sweat, trembling, a fast heart rate, and dizziness. There were no other signs that something was really wrong and all of the tests showed that there were no heart troubles at all. I told the patient that he was having a panic attack and I suggested some things that might help. The man did not want to hear anything that I had to say and he was honestly convinced that he was having a heart attack. She left the emergency room and said that he was going to go to a different hospital. I saw that patient again a couple of afternoons ago. She was in the emergency room with his mother, but his mother was not in there for a panic attack or a heart attack. The man stopped me to tell me that I was right about the panic. She told me that he decided to go to a therapist after going to the emergency room and he suffered from awful panic attacks; Now he had a way to stop those panic attacks and that was medical marijuana. The patient had gone through the classes so he could get a medical marijuana card. Now the patient will be able to buy medical marijuana products that he can use when he is feeling that flight or flight response.
