I hope your doctor was able to treat your issue the following day and it was not too serious.

Thank you for your thoughts. My doctor saw me right away the following morning, thankfully. No, I don't believe it's anything serious, but need a little more time for some follow-up tests. It didn't turn out to be a heart problem and after a few different medications and a cat scan, I'm doing much better.

I guess I've lived under a rock, having always been healthy and not realizing these long wait hours in an ER.
