I am in the US, so financial calculations need to be factored in.

For a moment, I couldn't breathe, felt like I was going to die, then vomitted.

Now heart beating slightly off, not feeling great but not terrible, had mild chest pain earlier in evening...

Kinda feel off. Have medical insurance with large deductible.

Ignore it? Taxi to ER? Call 911? Genuinely don't know and don't like 911 since police are involved.

Also I feel hot, feel burning around my neck.

    I live in the US

    We have to weigh the cost of a medical visit versus the likelihood it's nothing

    If it's food poisoning and I overreact, that's a 20K overreaction in the US

    Everyone who downvoted this can get fucked with a cheese grater and no reach around. This is how America works. Do some research.

    If you don't have insurance, you would get hit with this.

    However, in most states I've lived in, if you don't have insurance, you get off with less than I'd end up paying in copay after subsidies/negotiations.
