What Sudden And Extreme Chest Pain?
I have had an experience a few days ago regarding my heart . I was sitting at my office chair when I suddenly got this heavy ache in my chest the pain was pressure and a hot ache so extreme that I couldn't breath and my jaw started aching as well. I managed to flag a co worker with my hand and I couldn't talk the pain wasso intense that I could only wisper to help me. All the while holding my chest the pain lasted about 10 minutes that's an estimate.
My test at the hospital showed nothing. I had this same thing happen again last night and I had the same symptoms only longer time frame about 25 minutes. My husband was with me and untold him the hospital said I was ok so I didn't let him call 911. Today if feel heavy in my chest area and tired what should do?
