15. You have throat pain that initially appeared in your chest

Most of us wrongly assume that throat pain is caused by a sore throat. And, yeah, it may be, but having throat pain could also signal heart issues, especially if it started in your chest. This type of pain rooted in your chest is no joke. Call 911 if things get worse.

16. Your breathing is way too rapid 

Also known as tachypnea, rapid breathing occurs when you’re forced to take way too many breaths than normal. To be more specific, if you take more than 20 breaths per minute (normally, an adult takes between 12 to 20 breaths), it’s time to call your doctor.

Dr. Kino says that rapid breathing could be caused by many conditions, including asthma, blood clots, diabetic ketoacidosis, infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and even anxiety attacks.
