What Do Persistent Chest Pain, Dizziness And Shortness Of Breath For 2 Weeks Suggest?

I have been having chest pain for about a little over two weeks. I went to the hospital about a week ago and they checked everything and said that everything was fine. At that time, I was only having chest pain. The next couple of days, I started waking up in the middle of the night from cold sweats and shortness of breaths. I also started getting really dizzy and feel like I m going to pass out. Sometimes my left arm gets numb or I get cramps in my feet during the day and night since i started having chest pain. I m a female, 5 7, 16 years of age, 190 pounds. I eat healthy and exercise but I stopped exercising when I had chest pain.

Your work up needed as follow....
-Blood pressure measurement
-Physical examination including calf muscle also examined for swelling
-Auscultation

If all these are normal than history for stress has to be ruled out... Because panic attack can lead similar presentation for which anxiolytic drug prescribed

According to cause further specific treatment given
