So last thursday I went to the ER cause I had tightness in my chest, heart palpatations and the feeling like i couldn’t take a deep enough breath (the urge to yawn all the time).

By blood oxygen was normal, and they couldn’t find anything wrong, which led them to believe an anxiety attack. Okay, i can buy that.

It’s been a week since then and I still have a tight feeling in my chest (most notable my sternum) and sometimes a little twinge of pain in my right pectorial. On top of this I feel like I can’t get a deep enough breath, still. I’m not getting anything useful from Kaiser Permente (useless HMO) so i thought I’d ask a yahoo question. Any ideas what I should do or things I can do to help? Any similar experiences, and what did you do?
