In urgent care and feel like I've been pegged as a time waster

Not sure if I should stay or go to be honest. Was at work when I started to get pain in my left chest/shoulder. First aider at work sent me to urgent care but I've been sat ages and everyone is going in before me so I feel like I've been pegged as a time waster. Chest still hurts but I'm starting to feel bad for being here.

You're being paranoid. People who are dying will be treated first, but if you're having a potential heart attack it's better you have it there than have to wait for an ambulance at home. You are still in the hospital and just as important.

They thought I was time wasting 2weeks ago. So I went to a different hospital. Turns out I have a blood clot near my heart. I dont think that's time wasting. Please stick where you are. Chest pains are serious xx

I get chest pain when I am stressed. Then that turns into a panic attack because I am worried it’s my heart, but it usually goes away on it’s own if I sit and do 7 - 11 breathing.

If you have right shoulder point pain & lower chest it could be something to do with gallbladder, I had gallstones & this is what I used to get, watch what happens when you eat fatty foods such as cheese, if this sets it off again could be worth asking about,
