Time to call 911: A person with "crushing center chest pressure" should see the doctor right away. The wisest thing to do is call 911. The paramedics have oxygen, medications, and can do an ekg. The E.R. Doctor can evaluate for a possible heart attack. Even if it is not a heart attack, the E.R. Usually can provide diagnosis and treatment.

Call 911: Crushing chest pain with history of mi is worrisome. Take a nitro if you haven't already and Aspirin and call 911. Now! don't wait. Good luck.
