Taxi to ER. No medical office will touch you having complained of, even mild, chest pain and a weird feeling heart. Been there, done that. Walk in the ER talking of chest pain, and say that first!, they will throw you in a room and attach an EKG. Been there, done that.
I don't mean to alarm you, but taken together those symptoms smell like a mild heart attack. By some voodoo I don't understand, the EKG can tell, even if the event is not happening in the moment.
I say no medical office will touch you, but first time my doc sent me to the ER, second time they whipped out a portable EKG. Times change, I may be wrong.
In my experience, taxi drivers will refuse to take customers to the ER due to liability concerns.
Uber and the like have specific warnings about that, too. Of course, you can just ignore them and say you're going to see someone else that's in the ER.
