A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time to see doctor: A person with "severe pain" and "really bad chest pain" should see the doctor right away. If her own doctor is not immediately available for help, the safest thing to do is call 911 (in the US). The paramedics have oxygen, medications, and can do an EKG. The ER doctor can evaluate for a possible heart attack. Even if it is not a heart problem, the ER usually can provide a diagnosis and treatment.
