To not go to a&e?

I'm surprised you didn't try and see your gp.
I'm no expert. There probably online checklists you can look at though. I am 40 and wouldn't go to a and e unless I had a severe pain but perhaps that's incorrect.
I'd look online or call 111 if couldn't see gp.

You'll have twanged a muscle coughing. Just ring 111 for advice if you're worried.

I would go to A&E, because my cousin didn't and died. I'm not saying that you are about to pop your clogs, but it sounds like you need someone properly qualified to have a good look at you,

If you have strained a muscle or something, then at least you will know. But not going because you don't want to make a fuss or waste anyone's time isn't wise.

Essentially if you were certain you had this ?near choking episode and the pain was a hangover from that violent coughing then it would be fine not to go. But it doesn't sound like you are certain.

Chest pain into jaw of an uncertain cause will always trigger advice to be reviewed in A&E for ecg and bloods. It's very unlikely to be a cardiac cause at your age unless you have other significant comorbidities/family history. If you need reassurance of this then your husband is correct you'd need to goto A&E. I think it's unlikely you'll get past GP receptionist triage with CP/jaw pain, and even if you were to see the GP it's unlikely it's of benefit to them in a medicolegal sense to do anything other than advise you attend A&E.

If you call 111/999 for cp/jaw pain seeking advice and you don't have any history of shortness of breath, collapse/faint, nausea or vomiting then you'll code CAT3 ambulance response - which depending on your region means waiting for between 2 and 6 hours for an ambulance crew who again will not be willing to risk their registration in reassuring your on the tiny chance that it is your heart so will also just drop you off at A&E.

It's your health ultimately it's your decision what to do. If you on reflection recognise that you are certain it's just a bit of muscular ache from the coughing and you're a bit of a hypochondriac normally then you would not be unreasonable to not goto A&E. If this is out of character/you're uncertain then it's A&E where they can properly consider the cause and exclude serious pathology.

Jaw pain and chest pain?

A&E

Chest pain is a tricky one. Anywhere is going to do an ECG just to cover themselves. If you call 111 you are likely to end up with an ambulance and potentially a trip to hospital for bloods so I wouldn't do that. If you still feel you need to see someone in a day or so and can't get a quick GP appointment do you have a minor injuries unit nearby?

Hi, jaw pain along with chest pain especially in women definitely needs to be checked out even if just for peace of mind. Try your GP but if no joy I personally would get checked by A&e.

That's not really a&e territory.
Chest pains, yes, cool clammy skin, grey complexion, pains into neck etc - Heart pains. that's a&e. Any breathlessness, any loss of consciousness, any fitting etc would be a&e territory.

You've more likely pulled some muscle or even popped a rib somewhere in your chest when you choked. Probably aspirated some fluid hence the coughing - that's designed to stop you choking; its the body's natural and expected response to fluid going toward the lung. They cant/wont do anything for you at a&e aside from give about a 14 hour wait to tell you you pulled a muscle and then tell you to take some pain relief

Have you taken any pain relief - take some paracetamol,

does it get any less with pain relief - even it comes back? Are you able to sleep? Are you able to breathe normally? Your colour is normal for you? if all the above are Yes - then you're probably ok.

Well I'm sorry to hear that, clearly that's area dependent. Where I live that's not the case but I appreciate everywhere is different.

ROFL here I can't get a telephone call from a nurse for 16 days.

Surely your doctor's surgery should be your first port of call? Give them a ring, get triaged.
