One problem, 3 completely different opinions

After days of pain in my chest, arm, shoulder and abdomen which became unbearable during the night, I went to casualties on Sunday 24th February 2013. I saw a dr who had an ecg, blood tests, requested x-rays and gave me an injection for the pain. The dr sent me home because the pain had subsided (it comes and goes) he said they would call me if there were any problems with the blood tests. Later Sunday afternoon I got a call saying I must pack a night bag because the blood test for my heart was on 'boarder line' and that they would like another blood test taken as a precausion because of my family history of heart attacks (my father). When I got to the hospital the new shift was there. I saw another dr and she told me its not possible, I can go home because I more than likely have a lack of calcium. She took the old script and replaced it with her own. The next day I went for the x-rays requested by the 1st dr and took them to my GP. My GP checked the x-rays and found no problem, his diagnosis was that I have probably got damaged muscle tissue. My problem: I pay medical assistance. The Dr network on keycare are not worthy as I still don't know what is wrong with me, still in pain.
