Hi 54 youngster,
If it is an emergency situation, call 911. If you are experiencing symptoms that trouble you but don't seem life threatening, you should contact your doctor--they are there to provide care depending on your particular conditions. We are not doctors here who can give medical advice. We provide resources for helping you advocate for yourself. Please don't hesitate to get assistance for your illness.
Take care and please let us know what the doctor says about your condition. It may help someone else to know the warning signs.

Hi 54youngster,
I wanted to let you know that I've contacted a specialist to try and get a recommendation on your symptoms. However, I still hope you will not hesitate to seek medical care on your own if you find your symptoms unbearable or particularly concerning.

Hi 54youngster,

Sorry you are not feeling well. Christine is correct that it is important you contact your doctor to help sort through these problems. If you give us some more details it might help us guide you to the right type of doctor and ask the right questions. For example when do you get chest pain? At rest? With activity only? How often do you get it? How long does it last? Does it get better on its own? Same with the other symptoms. Are you otherwise healthy? Have you had other medical problems in the past?
