A member asked:

My heart has been having a pain for the last 4 days. should i go to the hospital? should i wait?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Missing info. What sort of pain? Crushing elephant on your chest long lasting or brief pain spasms. At your age most chest pain is heart burn. Without a better description there is little more to say than get it checked out if you wish. You are welcome to start over and provide more information.
