@annedodrill44- I'd like to invite @grannynacky to join this discussion.
I've had 2 lobectomies for lung cancer. I'm sorry that I confused this issue. Lobectomies remove a lung lobe mainly because of cancer.
Anxiety attacks are triggered by something in your past that makes you feel very uncomfortable, maybe threatened or long buried in your mind. When adrenaline floods your body at the onset there are a lot of chemical changes that take place setting off a lot of physical reactions, like you had.
Here are some links that explains anxiety attacks, palpitations,...
Flushing can be caused by a number of things. Have you had any blood work?

Merry, thank you for responding and for sharing your experience. Oh yes, I’ve had plenty of blood work (all normal) and am scheduled for my annual physical at Mayo in March. Will let you all know if I learn anything new about treatment for anxiety!
