Hello. Thanks for posting here. Since you have a normal coronary angiogram you need not worry about a heart attack. As your doctor told you, you may be experiencing a stress attack or a panic attack. Also, please get a chest x-ray done to see if there are any lung related cause of chest pain and shortness of breath like infection(pneumonia) or asthma. Your doctor wants to connect you with a rhythm monitor which can also help here. As far as your concern about whether its late, you can wait for the appointment, there is no immediate hurry. Thank you
