When to go to the emergency room (ER) for chest pain

If you have chest pain or discomfort (or other symptoms of a heart attack), you should call 911 or go to the ER. Don't take chances when it comes to your heart care.

Generally, a patient with chest pain should be evaluated with X-rays and an electrocardiogram (EKG) to give further evidence on the seriousness and nature of the chest pain.
