Chest pain dizzy, sick to stomach

[frank696]

On 8-22-10 driving home as passenger I awoke to chest pain, dizziness ,sweating, feeling I would puke with a sense of a gas bubble that wouldn't go away. My wife said I looked terrible but I was afraid to tell her my symptoms.  All I could do is lay seat all the way back and try to clear my mind.  Pain stayed for approx about 45 min to 1 hour. I felt that this was it but I have been told I suffer anxiety so didn't want to be told it was nothing. I had only slept about 2 hours in last 48 hrs could this been anxiety or heart attack. I get this cough at night and sometimes during day that I cant shake. Should I risk calling my doctor I was just there last week and she wants me to see a shrink. I am a 51 soon to be 52 male with 1 heart attack and 9 stents with a total of 6 caths in 14 months to this date

With your history of heart attack and stents I would think it worthwhile to get this checked out.  Why does your doctor think you need a shrink?  Sounds like you have been down this road before.
