A&E for heart cramps?

[snowyandglowy1]

Hi. I have weird cramps in my heart. Like tightening twinges etc. Been going on for about an hour on and off and some are more painful than others. Should I be worried or no?

Get medical advice, that’s the only advice that anyone online can give you.

Any new kind of chest pain should always be checked out. Plenty of causes that are nothing to worry about, but more sinister causes should always be ruled out

Don’t want to feel like a time waster cause I’m not like unwell or anything it’s just the odd sharp twinge? Is a&e the right medical place to go or should I wait for gp?

Call 111. They'll tell you if it's A & E worthy.

Hope you fell better soon.

NHS guidance here...

Call 111. Take advice. Don't mess about when it involves your heart. Best wishes.

Please go to A&E.

You won’t be wasting any ones time - chest pain is literally the top of the list of things that A&E is definitely for.

Go, now. Please.

I think 111 will just point you to A&E with chest pains

Def get checked out.,

111 will definitely advise you to go to A&E, one of the first things they ask is about any chest pains. Hope you are okay x

Don't want to freak you out but I lost a loved one this week to a heart attack. They suspected it and died two days later. Please get checked for peace of mind.

That sounds like an A&E trip.

Please get it checked out. You won't be wasting the hospitals time. My DH has a heart attack, a very minor one, a few weeks ago. He thought he was wasting the hospitals time too.

Please, get checked out. You have a valid reason to seek medical advice.

If you have cramp like pain in your heart you need to have some common sense and go to A/E immeadiately . No one on here can be expected to know whether it’s serious or not as it could be anything from a heart attack to a pulled muscle , chostochondritis or indigestion . Go to A/E where they will assess you

Why ask any medical advice on the Internet? Why??

Go now.

@ButiLoveHim32 umm, because the op can and did. Your post is pointless and isn’t going to help the op at all

Please ring 111. They will not necessarily tell you to go to a&e with the type of pain you describe but they will assess you and tell you what to do for the best

I had this, it turned out to be nothing sinister but at no point was I made to feel unreasonable for going to A and E. In fact, when I left the doctor said to me that just because it was okay that time, please come in if I ever get any other similar pain and not to assume because it was fine last time, it would be fine the next.

My BIL had a minor heart attack last week after ignoring the pain thinking it might be indigestion. Get yourself to the hospital ASAP.

I would go or at the very least call 111 (although I think they’ll send you at A&E (or do you have a walk in clinic?)
They’ll probably stick you on the machine to monitor your heart

I’d say get checked but I know what you mean, if it’s nothing you feel like you’ve wasted there time! I had similar when I thought I had wind... turned out it was my appendix and was in surgery the next morning woops! Hope all is ok

I'd go to AnE for that
