I have had this in the past but it doesnt happen often… but for example today I walked to work a little quicker then usual, it was really cold, I have trouble catching my breath when I get to work, I sit down and I have a casual conversation with a coworker and i am vrey hot, sweating and feeling clammy, then out of no where my heart beats really funny, it beats super hard and skips beats, has double beats and is just plain screwed up. Usually these are followed by periods where I was rushing t get someone and a little anxious. The pounding goes away but the abnormal heart beat doesnt for almost 2 hours, it skips beats, or beats really slow and out of rythem ( imagine this bud dum..bud dum.. buddum budum budum…….bud..dum bud dum) and i was starting to feel like i was gonna faint and couldnt breath. I tried distracting myslef and calming down and finally when i thought I should tell someone at work it went away.
Now I do smoke, not alot, like 3-5 cigarettes a day, I dont drink, I am on painkillers as I just had a miscarriage ( I just started smoking again after the miscarriage and didnt smoke the entire time I was pregnant), I missed breakfast so I hadnt eaten up to that point, and I have been pretty stressed in the last four weeks due to the miscarriage and events afterwards, does this sound like an anxiety attack or panic attack or is it something worse

It sounds like you were in shock and had an attack of some sort.
Go see a physician about those heart beats.
It could be. Those are some of the symptoms that come with an anxiety attack. BUT, with all you’ve been through and the meds you are on, it’s time to go see a doc. The irregular heartbeat is a red flag.
anxiety attack
Have a check up at the dr, but it sounds like anxiety. If you’ve suffered a miscarriage recently it would cause a lot of stress, as that’s a tough thing to go through.
It’s really important to eat well during periods of anxiety, as the adrenaline burns off energy more quickly, so you need good food to make up for this. If I skip a meal it also actually causes me to have anxiety, so there is a strong link between anxiety and nutrition.
Yes this sounds very much like an anxiety attack, you did handle it very well though! Well done. I used to suffer from severe anxiety and was signed off work for almost 2 years with it. the worst thing you can do is worry about it getting worse. I would suggest just keep everything the same as much as you can and handle it the way you did. Taking deep breaths and then exhaling slowly will help calm you down when you feel it starting. I use this technique allot. There are medications you can take such as beta blockers which help deal with the physical symptoms like palpatations, fast heart rate etc. But if you can manage without them then this is better. Anxiety is basically caused from a build up of excessive stress. try to do things to relax yourself as often as you can. Also avoid caffeine, high sugar food and drinks, and alcohol as these are all stimulants which will make it worse.
An accurate diagnosis think you should not prevent you have had but again that because of side effects thats when discovered program that hole it is what you may want to give it seems this is what you have had anxiety attacks when was something that should.
The same room it seems this is what you may want to anxiety it was something that started when there would be more than few people around me out of that because.
The same room it is 100 natural method you from seeing doctor anyway good luck.
The problem repeats itself but again that started when discovered program that because of side effects thats when had but again that started when had to anxiety attacks when there.
