Was This An Anxiety Attack?

0

A few days ago, I had to do this presentation for my classed based on something I am good at. Well, the morning of the demonstration, my chest started hurting really bad, but I didn’t feel like my heart was beating fast. My head was also hurting more than usual. I am asking this because I never had it before, and I don’t know if I was just overwhelmed because I hate speaking in front of other people.

Apparently according to helpguide.org, the symptoms of an anxiety attack are: "Surge of overwhelming panic, Feeling of losing control or going crazy, Heart palpitations or chest pain, Feeling like you’re going to pass out, Trouble breathing or choking sensation, Hyperventilation, Hot flashes or chills, Trembling or shaking, Nausea or stomach cramps, and Feeling detached or unreal." So, it could be an anxiety attack. The headache I think could maybe be caused by the anxiety attack, caused by stress, or you could of been dehydrated and didn't drink enough water.
