Default Chest pain and ER visit...

I don't think things can get any worse for me...Although I know a lot you probably deal with more than I do, so please don't take this as me thinking no one is suffering more than I.

Back to Chest Pain and ER visit...Around 6:00 pm last night I was taking a walk with our neighbors, not exerting myself. They have a two year old that was walking with us, so you can imagine there was a lot of stopping, then walking, then stopping and walking. So no real exertion. However, I became short of breathe during the end of the walk. Then my husband, son and I went out to eat. At that time my chest started to hurt. Once again became short of breathe, could not take deep breathes at all. It didn't hurt to move my upper torso or arms, just chest pain on left side behind left breast area. So I called the doctor on call and he, of course, told me to go to the ER.

Once in the ER they worked pretty fast to get me in and take EKG, blood and hook me up to the monitor. Doctor however felt that because I was only 33 that it couldn't be cardiac problems. He did a chest x-ray and gave me some gastrointestinal cocktail.

I take Prilosec every day, so I didn't think that that was the problem. Explained this to physician, but he still insisted that it was. I don't even think he waited on the blood test to be done. I was in and out with in 2 hours.

I went in with pain being on scale of 1 - 10 of an eight. I left the hospital with a nine. I explained to them that he hurt worse. I went to go to the restroom while in the bed, and that made my chest hurt worse. It purely exhausted me.
But they didn't seem to care. Still discharged in about 2 hours of total time.

My chest pain still has been alleviated by anything. He told me to double up on my Prilosec and the cocktail would take care of it last night. Well it didn't. I am still having pain and still can't take deep breathes. It is sharp when I try to take deep breathes, but is constant when breathing normally.

Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be? Has anyone with Fibro or some neurological problem dealt with this? I am very concerned. I have a call into my PCP and am waiting his call.
