Should I Seek Emergency Care for Chest Pain Lasting 3 Days?

I went to urgent care yesterday for chest pain. They told me that my EKG said that my heart might not be getting enough blood/oxygen flow on the right side, and could have been from a mini heat attack from smoking even though I’m only 17. Should I go to the hospital since I’ve had this pain now for about 3 days?..

I'd advise that you go to see a cardiologist very soon. Chest pain may present very serious issues with the heart, especially at your age. A cardiologist would further investigate the etiology by doing an echocardiogram or a stress test and then give appropriate management.
