Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain And Pressure In Chest
Yes....Hello My name is Yvette Donovan......I am experiencing chest pain in the left side of my chest closer to the shoulder, but a little ways below. I am not sure if it has to do with my heart but it could. I have as well tightness in all of my chest and the pain in my left side of my chest is mainly dull but can sometimes come on as acute and strong. Do you think it is needed to see a doctor right away or can I wait until Monday and take some form of over the counter pain medicine at this point? Thanks, Yvette Donovan. My email is YYYY@YYYY

Chest pain maybe due to various causes ranging from mild gastritis to severe heart attack. if it is heart attack, death may occur if not treated immediately. Hence any kind of chest pain should not be ignored and immediately you have to consult physician to rule out heart attack by taking simple test such as ECG. Hence kindly see a doctor immediately
