I hope you are at the ER. You cannot put everything down to anxiety. I too suffer chronic anxiety and panic, but pains in my left arm and chest led me to the ER wher I underwent an emergency quad by-pass, I too at first thought nerves, but common sense saved my life and stopped what could have been a fatal heart attack, the biggest blockage was in an artery the medical pro's call the widowmaker. Hope you are coming home now from the ER feeling better. Denis
