If my chest started hurting sat? if it was my heart would it already have failed or would it take this long?

Never ignore: I advise immediate er or UC clinic evaluation. Not all chest pain is from your heart and you must be examined and diagnosed.

Chest started hurting: Pain in the chest does not mean that you have heart failure. Did you see a Dr.? who told you that you have CHF. Where is the pain, when do you have it? at rest?, sitting? in bed? can you sleep flat?, Do you feel that you have wheezing in the chest?, do you get swelling of the legs?, are yiu short of breath?. Is getting better or worse? Please answer all questions in detail
