Did the ER docs ever consider the possibility of physical/mental exhaustion from your insomnia, pain, and uh...mowing the lawn in hot weather ? Do you live in an area where deer ticks like to party and give you lyme? Do you get to eat on a regular basis? Sounds like your body doesn't have much reserve in the first place. Are you underweight ?

I hope the hospital in your area is competent enough to interpret your results correctly. EKG machine has an algorithm that will generate a diagnosis along with all the numerical parameters, but ER docs specialize  in emergency medicine, so they have a difficult time when trying to confirm the machine's diagnosis. In theory, they should be able to interpret all your results correctly, but they realize that the real life version is so much more complicated and variable compared to the textbook version they had studied during their he** years of med school + residency years.

Did they at least do a ct scan of your head to make sure that you don't have a concussion? They are sending you a neurologist... Testing you for guillain barre syndrome perhaps?

I hope the med professionals are competent enough to help you. Sorry for nagging you, but it helps to request copies of your own med records and bring them to the neurologist.
