I'd go to A and E - even if it's only for your own peace of mind.
I know it's tedious but it may be better to play it safe and, like you say, it wont cost you anything and they wont turn you away.
If you want a proffessional opinion on what to do you can phone NHS Direct -

That sounds serious.You should not wait.Go get checked out immediately.
With difficulty breathing as you describe, I'd get to the ER immediately. A normal ECG doesn't guarantee you have no heart problems...don't wait till Monday.
Good luck!!
If it interferes with your ability to take a breath, go in immediately. If you begin to feel faint, dizzy, or seriously fatigued after minor everyday movement, go in immediately.
I had very similar symptoms, and was treated for chronic pleurisy.

take chest pain very seriously, and when in doubt, err on the side of caution ALWAYS.
I would go immediately to the Doc if I were you.
I hope you feel better, God Bless you sweetheart.
how young are you?
if your above 60, go to see the doctor asap
have you been stressed out lately or doing streneous job? if yes, avoid it for the mean time. If the symptoms persists & if you have
difficulty breathing?
You shouldnt wait till monday and by how you describe it, it sounds serious so better get to the hospital.
Call the Hospital (make sure you are talking to a Doctor or a Nurse (Not just someone that aswers the phones) and ask for their professional opinion on wanting untill Monday. If they believe it is serious they will tell you to go to the hospital immdiately or call 911
Good Luck
