Q: on day two medrol dose pack and have tachycardia and chest pain. should i stop taking? do i really need to go to emergency room?

: Chest pain has to be worked up in ER due to its potential of being heart related. While in the majority of cases a heart attack is ruled out, for few having access to proper and fast treatment is life saving. Your symptoms may or may not be related to medrol dosepak.
