Panic attacks

What does anyone know about panic attacks that only cause pains in the chest and no other issues? This is how mine have been. I went to the ER last night this one was sharper than usual and lasted longer. I eventually talked to my nurse friend later she said they sound like panic attacks. A few years ago I was told oh it's just stress pains, given each situation I was in, panic attacks sound more reasonable. Is there a way to make them not happen? Ps no I cannot afford therapy at all, I owe 4 grand in credit card debt😞
