Hello,
I agree with the other intelligent poster that suggested that you see a
doctor as soon as you can. On the way home from work, stop at Walmart or a
large drug store and buy a Omron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. I paid
about $45.00 for the one that I have but the price has probably gone up so
you may have to pay about $60.00 for it. It auto. measures your blood
pressure and heart rate. After you get it, keep track of your numbers so
you can show them to your doctor. If you feel the same pains that you felt
before--take your blood pressure ASAP and write down the numbers. Of
course, if you really do believe that you are having a heart attack--just
call 911 and get the help you need.
Also, buy a book about heart problems.
