Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain

I snorted bath salt, have done it other times before, and am now having a mild pain in my chest. I've had it for about 3 days now, but seems it is getting better. I have read online the chest pain can sometimes last up to 10 days. The last thing I want to do is go to a doctor and say I did this, so should I try riding out for a view more days. I dont feel im in any danger, it's not extremely painful just uncomfortable, and is not getting worse, but better day by day.

Hi
While this could be gastric reflux or a chemical bronchitis from the salt, I can't say for sure it isn't cardiac so you should have a doctor check it out and there'd be no need to mention snorting the salt
