ER again

I woke up in the middle of the night august 30th and noticed a very strange irregular heartbeat. 15 seconds later my heartrate shot through the roof. Ran downstairs and woke my boyfriend and when he felt my heart he called 911. My arms felt a flooding sensation that was tingling but more intense than the normal tingling I have experienced. By the time emt got there it was down to 120 and I decided to go to the ER to be monitored. It took 5 hours for my heartrate to slow down and I was discharged without much instruction feeling like an idiot for going. But the symptoms began to come back namely the vertigo ( a feeling like im being shoved or there is an earthquake) dizziness and now chest pain and loss of appetite. My bowels also locked up a few days prior to the episode. I took 2.5 valium lastnight and did better and was finally able to go to the bathroom. This morning the chest pain returned and after a very short walk to the end of the street I got the sensation of being shoved again and then chest pain increased so I took another 2 mg. Im very fearful and have sent my amazing internist my symptoms and some information on withdrawal and informed my sigbifigant other and my parents. I hope to make it through without permanent damage. After taking 2 mg this morning 20 min ago it is now 9:30 and I am feeling less anxiety but still chest pain. I am not leaving the house or going in the heat. Im also taking vitamin c d and magnesium. I will be continuing to stay away from gluten as well as stop all sugar. Lots of oils and have been sober from any drugs or alcohol for 4 months.
