Chest pain isn’t something to ignore. Whether it feels dull, sharp, burning or crushing, it could signal a serious issue — and the only way to know for sure is to seek medical attention.
Call 911 or visit the ER if chest pain is severe, prolonged or accompanied by:
• Confusion or disorientation
• Trouble breathing, excessive sweating, or dizziness
• Pain spreading to the jaw, left arm, or back
• Sudden tightness, pressure, or crushing sensation in the chest
• Rapid heartbeat or dangerously low blood pressure
Trust your instincts — if something feels wrong, don’t wait.
