Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and feel strongly that you must go to ER without wait.
Nature and history of problems like diabetes with hypertension with CHF makes your symptoms of breathlessness and chest tightness very scary and can not be ignored.
I know you are on vacation but life is much precious and can not be put at stake.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
