A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time to see a doctor: A person in her 40's with intermittent chest pain and a new fast heart rate are signs to talk with her doctor now or go to the ER. She should not drive herself (have someone else drive, or use ambulance). If it turns out not to be heart angina, abnormal rhythm, myocarditis, anxiety attack symptoms, a collapsed lung, or pneumonia, the ER is still the safest place to go for chest pain evaluation.
