Open Question: What is the cheapest route for chest pains/heart issues?
I’m not going to expect a diagnosis from the interweb, so my question is this. I’m a 25 year old, I have OK insurance, but not top notch. I can’t afford much in the way of medical bills. About 2 weeks ago, I started having shallow breathing, and about half the time if I try to take a deep breath, I can’t really “top out”. It almost feels like indigestion. I’ve considered it could be angina, I’m a non smoker (i smoked for about a year awhile back), and exercise often (ride my bike about 10-15 miles a day). I eat healthy, but have a family history of heart disease.
What is the cheapest reliable route? If I go to a general prac., I assume he’ll charge me and refer me. If I go to the ER, what can they do for me? Should I go straight to a specialist? I feel fine, sleep fine, an don’t get anymore short of breath after rigorous exercise than I did prior to this “issue”…. I’m almost starting to get used to the shallow breathing, but I know I can’t ignore it.
