Hi Lornak,

 

Right, you may feel a little foolish to go to the ER and find out it was just a panic attack, but what if it's something more serious?  Better to find out.

 

Even though you are feeling better I recommend contacting your physician for a complete evaluation to determine the cause of the pain.
