Heart attack symptoms???

I am a 53 yr old female.  I have been getting odd symptoms.  Pain that starts along my jaw bone and spreads quickly to my chest (Like a really bad case of heartburn) where I have trouble taking deep breaths without pain.  I break out in a sweat and feel panicy.  It only lasts for a short time but it is starting to worry me.  I also have occasional left upper arm pain.  Does this sound like heart attack symptoms?  I have been put on a prescription for beta blocker and given nitro spray, had an ecg, chest xray and blood tests but still waiting for results.

Does this pain last for a while? If so you might want to go to the emergency room just to be sure that it isn't your heart. The only trouble is that with panic attacks you can experience pretty much the same symptoms. Does your heart race during these episode?
