Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

After going through the medical details provided by you I would like to tell you that considering your age and a pervious history of heart attack and the present symptoms it's advisable to go to ER because as you are living alone if something significant cones up then it will become difficult for you to handle the situation at your own.

Better to take a precautionary step before hand.

You need to get Ecg, Echocardiography and a blood test ( troponin i) done.

I hope this information will guide you properly.

Kind regards.
