Why NOT?: It can be a very good explanation. You should change your approach though, as the ER is not the best way to get the right answer. Start with your PCP who will review all testing done in the ER. If he suggests counseling or medications for anxiety: FOLLOW HIS ADVISE!!. Remember that anxiety (panic attacks) are a real disease that can literally ruin your life. Don't waste time or money in the ER
