Brief Answer:
Following advice.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Your symptoms aren't typical for cardiac problems, however an ecg should be done to definitely exclude any cardiac issue.

If you were my patient I would recommend to go immediately to ER, if the chest discomfort persist and isn't relieved from common pain killers (paracetamol, advil).

Otherwise you should wait for tomorrow to see your doctor.

Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!
Dr. Shehu
