Abnormal ECG

I am a 41 yr. old female. During a golf game last Sunday I began having severe pain and pressure in my left arm and left chest area. It did not go away and I eventually went to ER for help. My blood pressure was extremely high and the nitro did reduce the pain and my blood pressure. It was certainly nothing like I have ever experienced. My ECG stated Early transition-QRS positive in V2. The ER doc referred me to a cardiologist and sent me on my way with an RX for Nitro. Before I could get to the specialist, I ended up back in the ER again--once again, severe pain, high bp and this time my ECG said Nonspecific ST and T wave abnormality. I have an appt. to see a specialist next week. I have coronary disease and heart problems in my family. What tests can be done to detect a blockage in me? What do the ECG results possibly tell us? I am a very healthy, busy, business woman. I am a single mom and travel for work. I am never ill and am pretty darned scared about this. What do you think? Thanks for your input. Laurie
