Call 911 and chew (chewing it up is important) 4 tablets of 81mg baby aspirin. If you don't have baby aspirin then chew up a regular 325mg adult aspirin. Typical chest pain is on the left side but atypical chest pain often experienced by diabetics or women can be abdominal pain, right sided chest, vague discomfort, or can be completely silent/missed. Sadly not everything behaves exactly the same. If you're very worried, you're having symptoms, and the EKG comes back reassuring, just ask for a set of cardiac enzymes. However, ED doctors often don't want to get enzymes because it means they have to do it 3x in a row spaced 6-8 hours from each other - so it might get you an observation unit stay. Anyways, I'm not an ED doctor but I worked in one for a month during residency and I can assure you - there are plenty of providers who are not great at interpreting EKGs. There is pretty high variability in EKG interpretation skill between them. So if someone with weak EKG sensitivity uses that test to screen you out, then that's pretty poor care.
