Brief Answer:
No need to visit ER urgently

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

I can understand your concern. The symptoms you are having like stomach distress, difficulty in breathing, chest tightness, backache, arm numbness, shakiness, reduced sleep etc. Such symptoms can occur in some cardiac condition or due to some anxiety attack.

You are 28 years old and have been diagnosed with anxiety three months back. Considering your past history and age in my opinion the possibility of cardiac illness is very unlikely. Most likely these symptoms are occurring due to severe anxiety attack.

If you have any anti anxiety medicine like Clonazepam or Lorazepam then that should definitely help. Try to remain relaxed and there is nothing serious. Once you become a little better visit a doctor for evaluation, no need to visit ER right now.

Thanks, Hope this helps you, if you have more doubts you can ask again
