Bad chest pain - er says not heart attack. cant get into cardio until oct. out of hydrocodone, otc stuff doesnt work. what are my options for pain?

Don't see ERs: and you don't need a cardiologist. Most chest pain in someone your age not likely to be cardiac in origin. A good family physician or general internist can usually make a diagnosis. Finding out WHAT it is more important than treating it. Try antacids or OTC cimetidine or omeprazole since esophagitis/gastritis most common cause in people your age, and won't hurt you.
