Other possibilities: Given your age and gender, a heart attack is unlikely. Generalized anxiety can cause similar symptoms, but there are a long list of other problems that can lead to those symptoms. You should be evaluated in a noner setting, preferably by someone that will follow you.

Need further workup: The er can only tell if you are having a heart attack or severe ischemia at the moment. You can be having prinzmetal angina which is when the coronary arteries constrict for short periods of time. Please see a cardiologist to rule out heart disease.
