Chest Pain...anyone else?

I know I posted on here a couple of days ago, but this is the only place I feel I can turn to without being judged. My heart had been hurting on and off for the past couple of days, and my hands (especially my left one) have been really shaky. My left arm hurts too, almost like I pulled a muscle. However, I have been told by Doctors my heart is completely fine and have been given numerous. EKGs, the pain isn't constant, thank goodness. But I woke up super short of breath this morning, has this happened to anyone else? Any advice someone can maybe offer me?

I have just recently got over panic attacks, my chest would hurt and my arm would feel heavy, it would last only 10 to 20 mins and then i would be fine. I have had EKG and all was ok. It is scary and you feel sure that something is wrong and your going to have a heart attack, i would get it when i exercised and so this made me worry even more that it was not panic attacks, i would not feel anxious but still they would come. if your doctor has checked you out then im sure it is a form of panic disorder and it will pass, keep strong it did disapear eventually, it lasted about 9 months.
take care

I have been to the ER, Urgent Care, and my Doctor and they have all given me an EKG and said nothing is wrong. My oxygen level is at 100%, and all of my bloodwork came out fine...so I just don't understand why I'm still feeling this pressure on my heart and left arm/hand. It is just so scary, maybe because I can't seem to.stop thinking about it? I don't know.

Any way about your chest pain congrats on it not being anything serious but i was recently sent to the E.R. for chest pain and back pain they ran many tests and discovered nothing seemed wrong but then i started talking to people to see if they had similar expierences and they did they said it could be because i have depression im not sure about you ....but if your waking up in the morning with short breaths it can maybe have something to do with your lungs go back  to the doctors and tell whether your a smoker or not and they will check your lungs ...if its not that it can be the way you sleep that making you wake up with a short breath and making you sore ....try drinking a lot of water and stay hydrated till your next docotrs appointment
