Any doctors read this? Any thoughts? Would be greatly appreciated! Thank you Achillea for your response.
Thanks for the advice. I actually only had one EKG done, no other tests. I asked my primary doctor if he felt I needed a stress test and he said no. And asked the doctor at the Urgi Center since I was there if I should go ahead and just have another EKG and she said no. So only one done. I did feel a ton better after having a clear EKG, but then when the symptoms persisted, I got worried that the EKG wouldn't show if I hadn't had the heart attack yet, and I was just displaying pre heart attack symptoms, which I heard can happen for weeks to months prior to an actual heart attack. So that's where I'm at...worried if it's oncoming, I guess.
The mild arm, shoulder, and back pains you describe sound as though they are of the cutaneous or musculoskeletal type. The referred cardiac pain called angina is of a different nature. It is associated with extremely serious, progressive, disabling cardiac symptoms as described by female patients here:

Since you have undergone repeated tests demonstrating that your heart is in fact healthy, you might want to visit an orthopedist to determine if you are suffering nerve compression in the cervical spine.
If given the all-clear there, one other approach would be to re-visit the specialist who is treating your anxiety, to discuss a relationship between anxiety and your cardiac worries.
Thanks for the awesome advice
You are a nurse, having studied anatomy and physiology?
Sorry made me stop too many characters. Anyways the heartburn went away within an hour or so. No chest pain during any of this, althought I know you don't have to have chest pain to be having heart issues, just being thorough with my explanations. The day we came home from vacation I had the random left arm pains again and the shoulder blade pain seemed to be back. This is a VERY mild shoulder blade pain, that isnt a constant pain or lasting, best way to describe it is a twinge of discomfort, just like before, only lasting a second or two, then gone but then I feel it again a little while later. However, it moved down farther, not so much my upper now, more towards my lower shoulder blade. The arms pains could be described the same way, lasting only a few seconds, but achy I guess, or slight throbbing. Got home, followed up with my primary, he felt around the neck and shoulder blade area, moved my arms different ways, and said something about a trigger point in the muscle. I read up on trigger points, but I'm not sure I am convinced? It's somewhat tender to touch, but not BAD, and would a trigger point send pains down my arm like that? I also was seen in an urgi center place yesterday, and the doctor there told me I had some tension up there, and she really does not believe it is cardiac due to my age and that I am still menstruating, but I know it can happen even to young people! She didn't feel I needed another EKG being that I had one just recently, and thinks it's all due to muscle tension. I am just terrified that it really is my heart and these are "pre heart attack" symptoms, and that a heart attack is on it's way. She told me that with cardiac related shoulder blade or arm pain, it would more than likely last for several minutes, not be fleeting like mine are. Does all this really sound like it's just muscle, or the possibility of heart related? I just don't know where to go from here, because I feel like it's being dismissed because of my age. Just wanted some advice or some info on what anyone thought, and what the pain might feel like if related to heart.
