A member asked:
My friend called me, she's worried because her chest has been hurting for an hour and has mentioned it hurts when she breathes or tries to eat things?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get her to the ER: Please tell your friend that if she is having chest pain, she should call 911 and get to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible. The worst case scenario is that she could be having a heart attack. Heart disease is the number one cause of death related to Health in the United States and many developing countries. Time may save her life.
