Should I wait 24 hours til I go back to my Neuro surgeon?
Hi, In my opinion, you should definitely consult the emergency room now. The way you describe your chest pain and with bad cardiac history, it is better to rule out cardiac chest pain first. So without wasting much time, consult cardiologist as early as possible. You can wait for neurosurgeon consultation.  Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.
