Chris, I think you were right to go to the doctors. To my mind your health is too important to take risks with.

Phil, I can see how you have been frustrated by healthy guys pulling a muscle have panicked and ran to A&E or called out an emergency doctor. Agreed the website I quoted does have some great advice on it but it was the posters from the campaign that brought it to my attention and I'm guessing it what has reached the most people. The posters are encouraging people (men mainly?) to call 999 when they get any chest pain.

My father died of a massive heart attack in hospital. He eventually went to the doctors after having chest pain for a couple of days. I don't know if this current campaign would have helped him but to my mind if it helps someone get help without hesitation then the extra load on NHS resources would be worth it.
