My ex (wimp out that he is) would 'pretend' to have panic attacks when the moment suited him (when he didn't want to deal with something).
Well the night that I told my kids (not his children mind you) what was going on with him and that he was not going to be staying with us, etc ,etc.. He dropped to the ground hand to chest once again. I was claiming to have a heart attack. I called the paramedics, they came.. amb took him to the hospital (no lights or sirens). They gave him nitro, etc. Released from the hospital the next day. They told him it was likely a panic attack (if it was anything at all). I guess he's had a couple more since then, by who knows.
I was not aware there was a statistic that women had them more than men.
