Chest Pain

[jedwards103]

I have been having a pressure type of pain in my chest for several weeks. Some days it does not go away. It is not a short sharp pain but a pressure (sometimes almost a burning pain). I have RA and several herniated discs. I am not sure this is related to that. Also I have stomach problems but this is not effect by eating or not eating so I do not think it is that. I tried to get into my cardiologist but can't get in until March. I hesitate to go to an emergency room because unless it is really a heart attack that make you feel like you are either stupid or overly anxious about every little pain. I live with all kinds of pain daily and I have a high tolerance to pain. This is really causing me problems. In addition, I had a stroke in '97 and migraines (caused by vascular spasms) causing temporary loss of speech and right sided weakness. I was doing ok with them until I got sick and now I am having 3-4 a week. Anyone have any ideas.
