First of all I just want to apologize for being so worked up that I have posted on here multiple times now over the course of just a few days. But I am in so much pain and so scared.
So exactly one week ago, my husband accidentally made chlorine gas in our bathroom while trying to clean the tub. It resulted in me probably having the worst panic attack I have ever had in my life and I ran out of our apartment building and got myself locked out because I forgot my keys. I called poison control and talked to a nice lady who tried to assure me that it would be fine if I just aired out my apartment. Tried to call up to my husband like 10 times and he wouldn't answer his phone (because he was in the bathroom trying to deal with the gas) and I 100% believed he was dead from breathing it in. I even called up to our apartment on the box outside and he wasn't buzzing me in. I ran around outside freaking the hell out and crying for like 10 minutes, thinking he was dead or dying, until a nice woman let me in the building with her keys. When I finally got up to our apartment I was banging on the door screaming for my husband and he just opened the door all confused as to why I was acting completely insane and I fell down on the floor shaking and crying and feeling like I was about to vomit. I ended up going to the hospital because of the panic attack I was having and they gave me some fluids and sent me home.
Ever since the morning after the incident (this would be day 6 I think), I have had HORRIBLE pain in the entire left side of my rib cage, upper back, chest/breast area, and all throughout my left arm to the point I almost can't use it. When I raise that arm it feels weak and funny and heavy and when I rub it I can tell the muscles are very sore and tense. It's not a normal muscle ache feeling though it is like sharp shooting pains through the entire left side of my upper body. I have also been extremely fatigued, nauseated, blurry vision in my left eye, and I am thirsty no matter how much water I drink and all of these symptoms have been getting increasingly worse with every passing day. Am I having a heart attack or about to have one? Do I need to go back to the hospital? Will I die? I am 22, female, overweight but addressing the issue, work out regularly, I used to smoke but haven't for 3 years, and I had a ECG done last February and they said my heart was fine. I know people will say I am too young to have a heart attack but I know that's not true, and I am very certain that the amount of stress I went through last week may have taken a toll on my heart. I also read that you can have symptoms for days, weeks, or months before a heart attack strikes. I'm in so much pain I am in hysterical tears.
Also, unsure if this is related but they did give me fluids in my left arm when I was at the hospital and I've got an enormous nasty bruise from the IV. Taking some left over hydrocodone pills from an infection I had a few months ago helped a few days ago, but isn't helping now.

Someone please respond I really don't want to go to the hospital again if I don't have to:weep:
