Hi i got chest pain yesterday it felt like heartburn it then went in my stomach and my chest it feels like very tight pains that go right round the sides of my chest and all in my stomach also i think the center of my chest is slightly swollen, it hurts more when i take deep breath!! i wont be able to see my doc for a couple of weeks!!

 

i know your not docs but any ideas what it might be and if it was you would you go to A&E!!!

I don't think that this should wait for two weeks especially if you think yuor chest is slightly swollen.

Don't be embarrassed about turning up at A&E and them finding out its something minor. I am sure they'd rathter that then have you turn up in an ambulance in a few days time.

I would suggest phoning NHS direct on 0845 46 47 and getting some professional advice. Your health is too important to entrust to the internet.

Good luck.

Wonky Get yourself off to A&E NOW. Don't hang around you're health is important and you shouldn't wait for answers here if you have chest pains as you describe. It is better to go and find nothing wrong, than wait around for it to go away.

 

Good luck and take care.

Can you not get an emergency appointment at your Doctor's surgery?

Get yourself along to A&E NOW.

As soon as you mention chest pains you`ll be checked out and an ECG taken. No waiting hours for attention.

I ignored chest pains until I nearly dropped and have had 3 years of cardiac treatment since.  It cost me my job and nearly cost me everything else I hold dear.

Please do not ignore your symptoms.  Best wishes.
