GranRon is absolutely correct. Try to see a cardiologist or cardiac electrophysiologist (specialist in heart rythym issues).

Did you go to your doctor for the shortness of breath sysmtoms?  I am assuming that is what you did and she sent you to the ER as a precautionary measure.  Do you have health insurance and, if so, do you need a referal to see a specialist?  You should let your doctor know that you are still experiencing discomfort and get a referal to see a cardiologist.  You should probably have further tests done to try and isolate the problem, if there is one.  One more thing, have your doctor explain to you what the results of the ECG were and ask any other questions that are relevant to it.
