Freaking out! Do I need medical help.

[Jayde_96]

So I'm getting this pulsating pain in my chest and shoulder on the left side. It's been going for the last couple of hours and I get it on and off. I've been to the gp with this before and they have done ECG'S at least 3-4 times now. Should this be enough to tell me it's not my heart or do I need to go to a&e?

hullo!

i used to go to the er when i had anxiety attacks. my vitals were normal, even though i was in pain and thought that something was seriously wrong with me. the attacks passed. i was ok. yesterday, i was even visited by paramedics at school! one thing that helped then was music.

here is a tip i was given in my first trip to the er. take a 5 second breath. hold it for 10 seconds. let it out. repeat.
