Don't be embarrassed about turning up at A&E and them finding out its something minor. I am sure they'd rathter that then have you turn up in an ambulance in a few days time.
I would suggest phoning NHS direct on 0845 46 47 and getting some professional advice. Your health is too important to entrust to the internet.
Good luck.

Get yourself along to A&E NOW.
As soon as you mention chest pains you`ll be checked out and an ECG taken. No waiting hours for attention.
I ignored chest pains until I nearly dropped and have had 3 years of cardiac treatment since. It cost me my job and nearly cost me everything else I hold dear.
Please do not ignore your symptoms. Best wishes.
