I'm really scared and in a lot of pain. I've had really bad sharp chest pain that started late monday night. It started like jabbing pain in my right shoulder and throughout monday it moved across my whole chest and down my arms and remains like that now. It is very painful to breathe and it feels about like it did right after I got my pacemaker only a lot worse and on both sides. Normally I would run into the hospital or at least my cardiologist's office but the catch is that my new insurance won't cover anything heart related until thursday of this week. I had to wait 6 months for them to cover anything.

So I'm really just trying to hang in there until 12:01 thursday morning because I'm so close. If it was farther out I'd take the financial hit but I keep thinking I can wait two days just two days. I can't afford to go in and have them say oh its nothing or worse it's something related to my heart b/c I won't have coverage. I'm in law school and rediculously poor. I'm so scared and miserable but I keep thinking if it was something serious something more horrible would have happened by now outside of just pain. I don't know what to do, either way I don't think I'll be going to work or class the next few days or at least until Thursday. Wonderful more time missed due to my petulant heart.

I would really appreciate any help or information if anyone else has had these symptoms.

Thank you so much!
