Went to my PCP Friday, he got copies from all the tests made at the hospital and went over them with me and said all the tests are ok. This feeling in my chest lasted until Saturday and then left just a quickly as it started. Just wondering if this could be the "hug"?

You've done a good job of explaining how it felt for me.
I think you will get about as many different explanations as you will people who have it.
I felt like I was being crushed. Couldn't catch my breath and it came as fast as it went.
It was like someone has taken a big ace wrap and wrapped it so tight around my mid section and it just wouldn't give. And then sat on my chest.
Do a search on this site for MS Hug and you will find several threads about it.
This might help.
