I dont know what to do.

Was able to get her to consider, she said if it continues for a few more days she will take me.

Wtf. Heart problems are not games. Call 911.

[Socratic Meth Head]

I dont think 911 will be necessary. Its not extreme heart pain, its bearable, but its still worrying. If something happens before then that is severe, I will call 911 asap.

If your family has bad or no health insurance I'd understand why they're hesitant. Do you have any medical conditions already? Are you very overweight? If you said no to both those things, your chance of having heart damage is very small. But some cardiovascular conditions wait a long time to present themselves and you may not even realize it.

I had extreme (like 10 on the pain scale) chest pain right where my heart was last month. But I'm stage 3 CKD which causes high blood pressure and high cholesterol, so it was code red in my eyes. My heart suffered no damage so I'm not sure what it was, but it didn't hurt to take the ambulance ride and get the blood tests because thankfully my insurance covered it.

Im not sure about the state of their health insurance. No pre existing conditions, Im not overweight, but my lifestyle is mostly sedentary and a poor diet, which is giving me even more cause for concern.

For all those asking for my age, I just turned 15. So i cant really rule out growing pains or anything like that.

Doesn't matter.

Still worth getting it checked out ASAP.

Are you a guy or a girl, if you don't mind me asking? I ask because heart attack symptoms present more obviously in guys than girls, which means if you're a girl and you're experiencing chest pain with arm pain you should be calling 911 right now. 

Like everyone else, I advise you get it checked out regardless. You're better off just making sure.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Call 911.

They'll do basic cardiac tests in the ER if your chief complaint is chest pain. If something turns up, they'll contact a specialist. 
Your parents won't be able to ignore that.

Exactly. Take the decision out of their hands, or depending on where you live, hold them accountable for what is clearly a piss-poor decision.

Your body is usually pretty clever in what it tells you. If you're in fear, go to a doctor. If you don't feel as if there was any threat, wait it out. The only person that can possibly tell the difference is you, and you alone. There have been a few conditions when I went to the doctors immediately. All of them weren't really as bad as I felt, but don't let that keep you. If in fear, it's off to the ER.

Im male.

I'm really glad they reconsidered. I agree that seeing someone ASAP should be high priority, even if that means going to ER or calling 911.

[Losty]

Any news? Don't leave us worried.

[ignoramus]

Just another fine example of putting the sky fairy before your own flesh and blood.
Is America really full of fucking morons like this? WTF...
