Never ignore a chest pain.
A simple blood test can say if you're having a heart attack or not.

Thing is if you are the longer you wait the more cardiac muscle dies off the more debilitating it becomes.

Of course it could be nothing but at least you will know.
 
I have heart problems and I would like to strongly advise you to get this checked out as soon as possilable. It could just be indegestion, but don't leave chest pains to chance.
If the pain increases or also affects your neck or arm on your left hand side then go to A & E to get it checked out .. Please ...

Thanks Enclave and Brightside for your advice. There is a good website here too on cardiac/diabetes connections. At times when I have chest pains it is during hypos, or stress. In this case it has been domestic stress, after waking up in the morning. The fact that my dr. recently conducted a cardiograph which was OK, means I think that it has been stress or anxiety. I wonder if I exercise today if that would get better. I currently have higher bg so it is not hypos. Thank you for reading.
 
You need to see a Dr as soon as you possibly can @Hypehypehype I had a heart attack ...in fact I have had three now, please seek medical help ASAP
 
Hi @Erin and @ellagy just wanted to point out that this is a really old thread (nearly 4 yrs old) so the OP may not see your comments.

Having said that, anything that helps people with advice on chest pain is a good thing! :)
