Call 911. Do it NOW. Do not drive yourself to the ER; do not allow anyone else to drive you.Get off the computer and call them NOW!!!!!

there are not home remedies for heart problems. You need to call the doc now.

Go to the emergency room anyway. Most hospitals are required to at least stabilize you if you are having a heart attack. Explain to them that you have no insurance, and they will transfer you to a charity hospital after they have treated you. As far as I know, most states have some kind of charity hospital system in place. Or, in some cases, you can work out a payment plan for your hospital stay with a pay hospital. You'll need to talk to someone at the hospital; I'm sure someone in admissions can help you, or maybe even your doctor can point you in the right direction.Good luck.

Go to the ER and tell them what you are experiencing. They cannot turn you away. All hospitals have financial paperwork you can fill out that will at the very least decrease what you have to pay based on your income. In some cases even make the visit cost nothing.

I'm in the same situation i have no insurance at all but state funded emergency hospitals have to accept you no matter what. I have 10,000 worth of med bills. if you go to a state hospital they will also try to get you med insurance if you qualify for government programs

it'll prob.be around $800-900 for e.r.visit and you don't have to pay when you go,by law every e.r. in the united states has to see patients with or w/o insurance.one major cause of chest pain is anxiety,heartburn and indigestion is another.then,of course is the big one heart attack to which you should go,take 2 aspirins before you go,chewing them will get them into your system better,it will improve the blood supply to your heart.

You Need To See A Dr. If Not Go To Teh Er. The State Has A Program In Which They Pay Your Medical Bill If You Don't Have Insurance..i Had A 5 Way Bypass And Told The Doctors At The Time I Couldn't Pay For One...they Told Me It's Called A Catastrophic Illness..meaning A Matter Of Life Or Death And The State Had Programs That Would Take Care Of It..they Did..so Please Take Care Of Yourself And Go To The Hospital Or Dr..they'll Probably Do A Heartcath To Tell Them If They Find Anything By Your Ekg...god Bless....skh
