Chest pain
I've had some uncomfortable feelings in my chest for almost 3 weeks now. I've also had a cough for equally as long. I only cough a few times a day but when I do, it always ends with me gagging as if i would throw up, but i dont. I've gone to the doctor and they've all told me it was probably anxiety(I've been under a lot of stress lately) another doctor suggested it could be an infection in my chest and started me up on anti biotics. All other tests came out fine, my blood pressure is normal, heart rate is normal, and when the doctors listen to my heart, everything is normal. Anyways, I had a sudden chest pain exactly where my heart was today, it only lasted about a second but on the pain was a 9 or 10 out of 10. Is this something I should be worried about?

Yeah, I would be worried if I were you. Talk to your doctor either on the phone or in person and tell him/her exactly what you told us. Be sure to be specific, because they can help a lot if your very specific.
It could be a big something, or it could be nothing. But to get rid of the coughing, drink lots and lots of fluid ( mint tea with honey and a drop of lemon juice! my grandma's speciality which always helps me ) And make sure you don't drink anything cold, or having any contact with cold. So that includes having your chest covered up with a scarf or something to protect it from cold. Make sure you get lots of rest ( stress could also be the problem! ) and to get rid of the stress going on... take deep breaths, take a hot and relaxing bath ( with bubbles, scented candles, pillow ) watch a movie... or whatever you have to do to get your mind off of what is bugging you.
I once saw a document on the Discovery Channel when they said somehting about "if you believe bad things, those bad things will happen. If you believe in a good thing, that thing will happen" So just tell yourself that you are fine, happy, etc. and it will happen.
I hope you feel better!

Yes, I'd say that's something you should be worried about. As the person below me said, go to the doctor again & tell him exactly what happened today. You don't want to wait any longer incase something else happens, so go right now.
Best of luck!

I would tell your doctor about what happened today. Just explain it to him and see what he says. It could be nothing but it is better to be safe than sorry! If you're still on antibiotics then that could have caused it but yeah, ask your doctor! Good luck and I hope you feel better!
