My chest pain has been going on for a minute now but now I'm worried at the moment I'm playing 2k with my cousin when suddenly my chest pain starts then almost immediately I notice it shoot to my right hand and now my chest is feeling tight should I call an ambulance or am I fine?

Hi Keejay,

If you are experiencing symptoms and don’t know if you are having a medical emergency or just anxiety, it’s best to seek immediate medical attention. It’s better to be cautious. Most doctors prefer you seek immediate medical attention in these situations rather than being unsure, or worse, guessing.

When you have recovered check out the link which I have included here

I have been to the doctors multiple times and they've told me Everytime that I'm fine EKGs and all I don't know this one just felt worse, when I started walking it felt like I wasn't gonna make it I felt extremely anxious I do now the pains gone away but idk what to think anymore.

Hi Keejay,

Fantastic that it was just your anxiety playing up.

The link I gave you has excellent information about how to work out the difference between your anxiety and a medical emergency.

If you are not sure about anything consult your doctor for reassurance and an explanation :)

Sorry, you're having an anxiety issue, but your post arrived in my part of the world 3 hours after you posted. So am assuming it was anxiety as doctors have checked you out before regarding whether it was your heart. Hope you are settled down and are able to sleep well.

Have you been seen for acid reflux just a thought. I keep getting very tight chest pains and funny heart palpitations. The doctors have told me this can cause this had to change my diet and drinks. And on antibiotics for the next to weeks I've been to a&e last week and told my heart is fine. Horrible when it happens I think about so much it gets worse. X
