Hello: I Was Told To Go To ER For Chest

Posted on Fri, 8 May 2020

Question: Hello: I was told to go to ER for chest pain and pressure due to my history of a pulmonary embolism many years ago. I was given an ekg, upon arrival, a chest xray, d dimer, troponin, metabolic panel, CBC, and eventually a CT scan, and covid 19 test, all of which were normal. But over the past two or three days, I've had left underarm tightness and heaviness, and some pain behind the left breast and some tightness at the ribcage. What should I do at this point?

Thank you Doctor for responding but I don't have the images. I have the lab reports but I didn't see the written report of CT scan.
