You should definitely be examined ASAP in the ER to determine your current cardiopulmonary status in view of the chest pain& dyspnea,?transient significant oxygen desaturation or ?very rapid heart rate & persistence of postevent rapid heart rate. Testing to include resting EKG,cardiac enzyme panel to look for heart muscle injury,D dimer blood test,chest X-Ray and/or lung scan to check for embolism
