Pixi,
Here's the bottom line--If you do not feel good, or if feel there's something amiss go to the ER. The ER is used to triage patients, not to make ultimate diagnoses.
A GERD diagnosis cannot be made in an ER. It requires an upper GI endoscopy done by a gastroenterologist. EKGs are not entirely accurate. That's why there's lab work to determine if you've had muscle damage--however that does not rule out having a heart issue.
The point is if you do not feel good, go to the ER. This is the hard and fast rule given towards chest pain. It may feel uncomfortable and embarrassing but sometimes you just have to do it.

You have a lot going on, all right, but since you are a youngish woman with a recent EKG that shows nothing wrong, it is not likely that the problem is your heart.
Once again, your family doc could be your best friend here. A regular internist can help a lot with GERD and can suggest a counselor to help deal with cardiac (and other) anxiety--and a husband's anger.

My head keep telling me theres sumthing wrong with my heart. And this GERD also worries me. I afraid to eat, afraid it triggers refluc and then the reflux triggers the panic attacks. I realy want to be check out by a Cardio..but my husband gets angry with me.
ER doctors really know what they are doing, and EKG readings give excellent information.
But anxiety and panic make this hard to believe. So the real problem is to treat the anxiety so that we can think clearly again.
It would be a good idea for you to see your regular doctor or a counselor to get the anxiety under control. When that happens, you will see your heart worries diminish, too.

The ER docter said my ECG is normal. No irregularties. Buy I am still worried.... Still having chest pain on and off. Feeling very anxious.
Yes. They said that i had a panick attack... And GERD. I went to the ER with chest pain, feeling strange,dizzy and anxious. My head was pounding.
The numbers are all normal but there is more to an EKG than the numbers. I agree, your doctor should interpret i.
Your heart rate was a little high. Did you feel anxious during the recording?

You don't say why you had an EKG, but the person to ask about your results is the doctor who ordered the test.
