Risk of heart attack: With only those words, "severe... pain in middle of chest", one must see the doctor right away. The wisest thing to do is call 911 (in the US). The paramedics have oxygen, medications, and can do an EKG. The Emergency Room can evaluate for a possible heart attack. Even if it is not a heart attack, the ER usually can provide a diagnosis and begin treatment. As they say, better safe than sorry.
