" hi, tried to answer on your other message but it wouldnt let me.. sorry you are feeling badly... does your doctor have someone who is on call for him? or an advice nurse? i think you should check on the chest pains and and the other symptoms.. they will probably calm your fears but it is better to check... good luck . let us know how you are doing.
