Lisa, I hope all is well and it was just a scare!! A year and a half ago DH had chest and back pain and waited 2 DAYS before deciding to finally go to the ER! He was convinced it was a pulled muscle. Turns out they rushed him to Philadelphia for possible emergency surgery for a heart aneurism! We were very lucky the ER doctor took a second look at the scan and saw "something" he didn't quite like. Luckily when he got to Philly they found it wasn't something they had to do asap, but he did get open heart surgery four days later. He had the aneurism and a heart defect where he had to get a valve replaced. The worst sight was when he came out of surgery and was wrapped like a mummy to warm up with all the tubes running out of his body! But we were lucky. My best friends husband passed away this past October from an aortic aneurism. He knew he had it, but they won't do surgery unless it is a certain size and his wasn't big enough.
I don't mean to scare you, but I am glad you are getting it checked out! It pays to go to the doctor when you aren't feeling quite right!
