If you can't get your primary physician to order these tests, you should find a new primary care physician.  Those tests are common sense diagnostics when someone complains of chest pain.  If you don't want to wait to establish care at another physicians office, then go to the ER/ED..they will do blood work and perform the needed EKG to rule out any cardiac pathology!  Good luck!

also, if it was a heart attack, it wouldnt go on for days that way.  you should ask her about doing a gall bladder ultrasound or a hida scan!

Did you have bloodwork and an EKG done?  If not then she can't say for certain that it's just your allergies bothering you.  But, if you did have those things done, then it could also be anxiety about your sister passing from a heart attack.  I'm sure that has to be weighing on your mind lots, and even if it is just allergies that are attacking, you could also have some gastric reflux or gall bladder symptoms, since both of those things can create chest pains and the feeling of having a heart attack.  Good Luck
