should I be worried about severe chest pain?

  • Hi Rainbow82

    Thanks for getting in touch with us and welcome to the online community. My name’s Simon and I’m one of the Cancer Information Nurses on the Macmillan Support Line.
    Yes, you should be concerned about severe chest pain. If you or anyone you know are experiencing sudden chest pain, you should contact 999 for immediate medical assessment and assistance. This is because it could indicate a heart attack.
    It is important that you seek medical attention as a matter of urgency as this could potentially be an emergency situation.
    I hope this information is of some help.
    Best wishes

    It would be another 9 hours in RLI and then at half nine not being given the last bed. I will ring tomorrow x TY for getting back to me x I don't think it's a heart attack. -

    Perhaps you should phone the Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 0000 to speak with one of our nurses as a matter of urgency to discuss your symptoms if they are cancer or cancer treatment related. The Macmillan Support Line services are for cancer related matters.
    If you are experiencing sudden onset of chest pain we would strongly urge you to seek immediate emergency medical assistance by calling 999.

    I hope this information is of some help.
