Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
The pain you are describing isn't typical for cardiac problems (it lasted several hours). However i recommend to go to the ER to exclude other life threatening conditions.
If you were my patient I would suggest to do the following examinations to exclude lifethreatening conditions:
- ECG
- Chest X ray
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Cardiac enzymes, D dimmer and pancreatic enzymes.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
