Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain And Anxiety With Breathing Difficulty
Two months ago I had a EKG and was told it showed 'stone cold normal' at the ER. I was having chest pains and have annxiety disorder. The last week has been very stressful. Today morning as I was lying down it felt light my heart stopped completely, I could not breathe properly, and pehaps 10 seconds later it beat again. Very frightening. What should I do?

hi and pleased to answer you
You must make a complete checkup by doing an Echocardiography exam, ECG, lipid blood test and troponin, with blood glucose. This checkup is explained by the signs you are describing that can be linked to a coronary heart disease.
If this complete check-up is normal, gastritis is highly suspected and can appropriately give a range of signs suggesting a heart problem, but since if the heart problem exists, and since it can affect the vital prognosis, it is imperative to begin your examination with a focus on the cardiovascular system.
as rare causes can existe, a pulmonary x-ray can be done if nothig is found
An anxiolytic will be largely effective in helping you overcome your pathology
I wish you consult a cardiologist.
best wishes
