Mayo Clinic explains when you should worry about chest pains

((SL Advertiser)) Mayo Clinic talks about when you should worry about chest pains.

People aren't afraid of 911. They are afraid of going broke after the call.

Went to the doctor because of stabbing pains on my middle left side. Couldn't breathe deeply or cough or sudden movement without that stabbing pain. I was slightly embarrassed to discover that it was air trapped in my stomach. He essentially "burped" me by pressing under the rib quite hard. The pain was gone after that. Told me to eat slowly.

I have more of the non cardiac symptoms that's a bit comforting

4 miles by ambulance got billed for $2000 USD

Its partially embarrassment BUT mostly because it'll cost us hundreds or thousands!!

Ever since yesterday I've had quick, momentary chest pains.
They're not strictly in one spot, but I get them often near either armpits, under my breast, and low centered. Sometimes even more toward my back.
They scare me, but they dont feel deep, and I havent had heart palpations or squeezing.
They come and go, but even rn I feel them in random but seemingly particular spots.
I went to the doc yesterday but he gave me little help.
His only possibility was Chest Catch, but I can breathe perfectly ok without pain.

oh my goodness. I literally have had this for a few months now I sometimes get random little “pains” (doesn’t even hurt I just feel something) and it’s either like a stab or just a feeling idk how to describe it but it lasts for about 3 seconds. It’s honestly so annoying and my anxiety makes it worse my parents are gonna take me to the doctor because they want me to understand everything is fine

I've been waking up from chest pains lately and my arms get stiff too, it's like a cramp if sorts.
I do not have shortness of breath and once I get up, sit up straight it goes away.
I only get those while I'm asleep though and that's weird 😕
I've got high BP, take meds for it, I've got GERD and some other digestive issues, take meds for it and I have anxiety and also take meds for it.
So I'm kind of concerned 😟 but I ended up in the ER before with chest pains, thinking I was going to die and it turned out I was low on potassium and most likely a panic attack.

So I've been there, done that, but this is different and I will get it checked out if it doesn't go away.
Better safe than sorry 😞

Do you want to be the person who goes to the ER and turns out to be wrong or the person who doesn't go and turns out to be dead?

I've been having chest pain also and when I went to the doctors; they said my chest is fine and although, based on the ECG scan my heart rate was pretty fast and irregular at times, they said that it was down to lack of iron in my body which doesn't make sense to me because, the pain is in my chest to obviously it's cause by something a lot more serious! I'm scared to go to the doctors again but, I HAVE to!!😭 no one in my family has any chest problems (as far as I know) so it's weird that I've experienced this

I had a stabbing like chest pain in left and right side, and shortness of breath. My ecg was abnormal, then my cardiologist directed to do echo, treadmill test and holter monitor test, but all are normal, so what is the problem?

[carolweaver]

Ambulance calls are highly expensive and insurance usually will not pay it. People are afraid to all for help.

[RAHULSINGH-wqus]

After enxiety, depression I have chest pain for several day, I done, ecg, X ray, blood test these are normal or but pain continue for specific upper left chest, no sifting, suggest me plz

[crazywaffleking]

I get a random jolt of pain in the left side of chest. Pain only lasts 1-2 seconds, but it hurts enough to stop me in my tracks if I'm walking. This happens at random, sometimes I'm laying down or sitting, or walking. No clue what is going on.

[krzstarfarr]

same, just pressure, comes and goes. Started a week ago and is still occurring. ima just wait it out.

[xllparalexllv]

I have chest pain that lasts for only a few seconds, it can happen on the left side or on the right side of my chest. Most of the time I can point to where the pain is.

Am I the only one who thinks that woman is beautiful? She's older than me, but good looking.

[korilynntillmon]

Thanks for the info. I just don’t know. I refuse to go to the ER because they don’t take me serious

[niltonperez]

So Im just concerned about my chest pain i get it once a while if i have a hiccup my whole chest squeezes hard and it chokes me and i feel like my whole chest starts squeezing and it hurts bad. ?

[salenasummerall]

My pain was in my back. Felt like a severe cramp that didn't go away. I took cayenne pepper, lemon juice, olive oil and it subsided
