    Chest and neck pain
    I have moderate to severe pain that is in upper right chest/neck area and is worse when moving from sitting or reclining to standing. Also some central chest pain. I feel sensation of heartbeat sometimes in neck area. Need help. What do I do? Been going on for several days. Had echo of heart one week ago. 53 yrs old with cardiac history.

    You can but they will tell you the same thing. You cannot be evaluated over the phone either.

    Please keep me posted as to what you find out.
