I'm 36, otherwise healthy. I've had chest pains since Friday, DH thinks I should go to a&e. I choked on my drink either weds or Thursday and coughed for a good few minutes quite violently.. could that just have caused this persistent chest pain?
AIBU?

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

@SleepyRich thank you for your thorough reply. If it's no better in an hour or so which I doubt it will be then I might go to a&e when DH is home from work. I'm wondering if it's more of a gastrointestinal cause as I've also noticed my upper stomach is very tender between my ribs, I've been feeling sick and needing the toilet a lot more and feeling full very quickly. It's all very random symptoms

@toomuchfaff thank you for the reassurance. I feel like I'm maybe getting a bit of jaw pain but I'm not sure if that's my hypochondriac mind taking over. I can breathe ok, complexion is fine etc. I've been taking gaviscon as I was wondering if it was reflux initially but I'll try some paracetamol and see if it helps.

Nausea, chest pain, jaw pain, indigestion symptoms - listen to your DH.
It is possible to not keel over straight away from a heart attack or have narrowing, rather than a blocked artery. So go, they'll do a quick trace and blood test, exclude the possibility, you go home again.
