not call 911 but ask a doctor even if you feel stupid because you never know if it was a heart attack or panick attack i get panick attacts and feel shortness of breath better to tell them then worry about it too

Call 911. Who cares what the doc’s think. That’s what they are there for.Better to be safe than sorry.

First thing to do is take an aspirin. One every six hours will keep your blood thin. Get an appointment immediately with the doctor and get a stress test. You really should either call 911 or have someone drive you to the hospital. It is your life your fooling around with. You need to decide what it’s value is and what you want to do with it. I had to have bypass in May so I know what it is like. Really no big deal today just follow the doctors orders and take life easy for 6 weeks afterwards. I once was told the highest incidence of heart attacks was on Sunday and Monday. Something about winding down the weekend and anxiety of Monday work.

CALL 911, the paramedics will immediately hook you up to a monitor and be able to tell if you’re in the middle of a heart attack. these days age doesn’t seem to matter and your sxs are pretty classic.

is possible you could be having some anxiety attack. because alot of times some times if you have an asthma attack and then other stuff is going on stressing you ou the combination can cause a panic attack. and if possible try keeping tabs on your bp everday to see if their are any changes. but dont feel dumb about going to er about a situation like that. we are talking about your life. and doctors can be wrong trust me.

Chest pains? They come and go? How are they doing now? It probably is a panic attack, or side effect to albuterol, if you inhaled some.

You prob. feel tired ’cause you have not slept nor eaten. If this discomfort persists call 911! Your health always comes first.
