Time to see doctor: A person with "mild chest pain" and chest "tightness" should see a doctor. If her own doctor is not immediately available for help, the wisest thing to do is to be seen at the ER. The paramedics have oxygen, medications, and can do an EKG. The ER doctor can evaluate for a possible heart problem. Even if it turns out to be not a heart problem, the ER usually can provide care.
