What Do Cramps In The Upper Abdomen Indicate?

Good morning. The question is: I m experiencing cramps in my upper stomach area along with cramps in my hands. Along with this, I m experiencing shallow breathing, not passing out but as if I m going to stop breathing. They come more frequent, as I was in the ER yesterday, only to be told I m experiencing panic attacks. Could this be something other than panic attacks, and if so, what? Thank you.
