Sunday night I felt a light pain in my chest and felt like I was gonna pass out. Monday morning it felt the same way. I went to the emergency room. So here I have this tingling in my chest. Did bloodwork, chest X-ray, 4 ekgs. All showed nothing wrong. I don't know why I still feel like this. I know I'm thinking about it constantly, but is it anxiety? I don't know. Tomorrow I go to my primary doctor i hope she can help me cause I feel like I want to go back to the ER but I don't know.

Hello- I am new to the group

It takes time to find the calm naturally after an episode of anxiety's help such as you experienced.
You're not alone in this.
