After 6-8 weeks i don't  think these pains are heart related, however make a phone call to your local ER and describe your situation to them... they might be able to calm your concerns or recommend someplace to get evaluated.

If you suspect you are having heart problems, you should go to the ER.  There they can get you into some programs for the indigent or underinsured. All the hospitals have charity organizations that can help you get medical treatment.  You could also try a university hospital with a medical branch.  But whatever you do, get help!  Take care, Ally

Is there a charity clinic somewhere near you? If so, maybe you should apply for it and they should be able to help you, if you qualify. I think the charity clinics go on a sliding scale basis.  They may also suggest some other places you can go to for health care according to your situation.  If your chest pains get too bad go to the ER. They can't refuse you. At least I don't think so.
