I understand how that mistake was made, but I don't know all of her symptoms and such. Many times anxiety attacks/panic attacks have the same symptoms as mini heart attacks and if there is no family history, other symptoms, then that is what the diagnosis would be. I'm not standing up for the doctor but I am not completely agreeing with you either. I'm sure there was a mistake made, but you have to understand that doctors are forced to come up with a diagnosis based on symptoms and tests. He should have had her heart monitored if there were any signs that it could have been a heart attack but you have to understand that you have to work with what you're given. I'm not ragging or defending, just trying to explain.
