Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam
1. It is quite normal to feel anxious if someone get stuck in an elevator.
2. Anxiety comes with increased sympathetic discharge in body causing increased heart rate. This is also normal.
3. No, it can not give rise to a heart related issue on it's own.
4. If you do not have any breathlessness or undue palpitation on walking, jogging, using stairs or lifting routine loads, then it is not likely that the issue is related to heart.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to discuss further.
Sincerely

Hello
So that is normal I do suffer from costochondritis which sometimes gives me pain when I breath but all my recent tests show normal they were done may 2016 and dec 2016 I did the echo stress test
So anxiety and panic is normal and that is what I probably suffered as fear of being stuck no chance of it being heart related .
I have been told that I do suffer from anxiety which at x gave me physical symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam
A pain which increases breath is more likely to be local, muscuo-skeletal, or pleural in origin. It is not a characteristic of anginal pain.
Any pain which calms down with hot water fomentation is more likely to be musculo-skeletal in origin.
