Emergency Physician Questions Chest Pain

Do I need to go the ER for chest pains?

I'm 35 years old, and I was feeling some pain in my chest and I'm wondering if I should go to the ER. The chest pain went away after some time though, this happened in the morning. What do you think?

Yes, especially if you have risk factors for heart disease or other serious chest, lung, or heart disorders such as smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, a family history of heart disease, etc.
Yes. While it may not be your heart, there are a plethora of other causes of chest pain, some of which can be quite deadly.
