hello.
thanks for posting here.
Since you have a normal coronary angiogram you need not worry about a heart attack. As your doctor told you, you may be experiencing a stress attack or a panic attack. Also please get a chest x ray done to see if there are any lung related cause of chest pain and shortness of breath like infection( pneumonia) or asthma.
your doctor wants to connect you with a rhythm monitor which can also help here. as far as your concern about whether it's late , you can wait for the appointment, there is no immediate hurry.
thank you
