Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHer! And thank you so much for writing.

I need to encourage you to make an appointment with your doctor and tell her or him what's going on with this as soon as you can. Yes, it might be a panic attack, and yes, it might be something innocent like gas, but yes, it could also be angina. Angina presents differently in men than in women sometimes, but with the pain in your back and your chest that you are experiencing, I'd feel better if you'd get checked out.

173 is a very high heart rate, Anon. Why are you exercising to get to this high of a heart rate? Is this normal for you?
