I had similar pains and it turned out to be anxiety. Don't take chances, this answer may well be wrong and might be the result of your 911 call. GO SEE A DOCTOR! A very high percentage of these symptoms are due to anxiety. However, I agree with above the poster and you should be having tests on your heart. Mitral Valve Prolapse can cause anxiety although it's not life threatening as well as an absnormal thyroid gland or adrenal gland. This should be taken more seriously so talk to your doctor and get those tests. Get the T3/T4 for thyroid, your adrenal gland tested and any tests they need to do on your heart. My bet it's anxiety, but I am sure you will suffer worse from anxiety if you don't find out for sure you are not having heart problems. Good luck Makes perfect sense that you were worried, that is a classic heart attack symptom. Be careful if you are a woman or a minority though, they have been known to misdiagnose more frequently with these groups (obviously if you are fine now then it was probably anxiety).
