911: Put down the computer. Pick up the phone. Call 911. You may be having a heart attack. Don't try to drive yourself. Get alternate transportation (ambulance). CALL NOW! And wouldn't it be wonderful news if you were having a less severe problem that would require less treatment. But you have to be examined to find out. CALL NOW!
