Hi, Can I Answer Your Health Question? Hello, I Was

Hi, can I answer your health question? Hello, I was seen in the ER for chest discomfort. When arriving in the ER, I felt as though I started to have a panic attack because I was very scared. When they did my first ECG, it stated sinus tachycardia, possible atrial flutter, septal myocardial infarction, probably old. Once I was given fluids and calmed down, they gave me another ECG which only stated sinus rhythm. The Doctor recommended follow up with PCP and a stress test. I saw PCP the next day, she prescribed Metaprolol 25mg and Buspirone 15mg, and recommended instead of a stress test, I wear a cardiac monitor for 30 days. The cardiologist just called to schedule getting the monitor and I won’t be able to get it until August 2nd. I am nervous about this being too long of a wait and if I should try and schedule a stress test sooner. What is your opinion?
