Been having stomach pains for a few days, and feeling pains in chest, but not like when I had heart attack 18 months ago. I don't feel like eating, and having been getting a lot of cramps in my legs for 2 weeks or so. I don't want to waste drs/hospital time...any ideas anyone?

Yes, I have an idea. Get yourself down to A&E so they run an ECG and check troponin levels. It is probably not a heart attack but they can present in many different ways. And please do not drive as you may be putting yourself and others at risk. Good luck!
Go to A&E ASAP.. The doctors are there for you, you won't be wasting their time.
Better to be safe than sorry.
Have you gone to A&E? It may feel frightening to think something serious is going on, but please take care and just go. x
I didn't have HA but unstable angina. After stents the pain was in different places, including stomach. I hope you took previous advice and have been to A&E - let us know how you got on. x
When I suffered stomach pains it turned out to be because the level of one my drugs ( Dijoxin) was wrong, too low. I'd never had a level blood test in all four years I've been taking it until I had the stomach pains, now I request the test every at my annual review as they don't test this drug as standard, my last one showed too high levels though I wasn't experiencing stomach pains. I agree with previous posts, get to A&E, you can't afford to delay with concerns about with your heart! x
