Urgent care or ER: The symptoms you described and pain in the chest is a serious medical condition. Especially chest pains is always a red flag and appointment with your pcp is warranted. Rec.: see your pcp for further investigation or referral to cardiologist. If concerned do not hesitate to go to urgent care or er. Take care. Bp: 183/131 it is not safe to work around!
