If you are getting chest pain and pain down your left arm I would get checked out at A and E - better safe than sorry

Definitely agree with Rosie. It may be nothing to worry about but it's not worth the risk. If it is as you think the sooner you are treated the better and your doctor would probably send you to hospital for checks anyway. Good luck and let us know how you are. X

OK so being from a small country town in NSW Australia, one can forgive me for not wanting to attend A&E our doctors consist of babies with no experience. It was taking me 3 days to see a GP Registrar, the older doctors take longer. Emergency Dr (child) humiliated me and said it was probably just a torn muscle, wouldn't let me speak and spoke over me. Now at 60 I have had plenty of torn muscles, and this did not feel like it. I was told to avoid stress take the painkillers and go home. Which I gladly did to escape the snotty little bathplug.

I feel so much better now knowing the pain is not a heart attack. Sorry for being a tad of a smarty pants, but I cant help it.

Thanks for youdvie though it is always appreciated.
