If one doesn't have insurance the local University hospital or county medical center are usually willing to work out some kind of plan. Other potential causes of chest pain are musculoskeletal, pericarditis, pulmonary problems, gastrointestinal problems and anxiety. The best course of action is to have all chest pain evaluated by a physician. Pain that lasts only a few seconds can be evaluated as an outpatient. Pain lasting for more than 20 minutes should be evaluated in an emergency department.
