A member asked:
What do you advise if i have chest discomfort only, is it heart attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get EKG...: The only way to know for sure if your chest discomfort is a heart attack is to get an ekg when you are having the chest discomfort. Typically, the pain is located in the chest and can radiate into the jaw or left arm. Sometimes, the chest discomfort is defined as pressure, like something sitting on your chest. So, get an ekg to know for sure!
