Chest pain: Due to the fact that you are having pain in your chest that radiates to your hand, I would recommend that you seek immediate medical attention at an emergency dept. Not sure which side of your chest or which thumb, but being careful, please seek a higher level of face to face evaluation as soon as possible.
