I was on a bus today going to pay my water bill when i came over real bad with chest pains, so i went to my doctor local GP centre which was close by when it happend.

I started getting pains in my chest and going giddy, its not the first time ive had these pains but it was the first time i came over real bad, the doc took one look and said hospital.

he offerd the ambulance but i declined, so i went waited not long either tribute to the NHS, now they took heart moniter thing and found my heart rate was very high and they thought i was having a stroke / heart attack luckily i wasnt, but they took x rays and blood tests and then found i have jaundis (sp)

So my question is to you what is it !?

Sounds like stress.

Interesting. The chest pain and the jaundice could be related or it could be just a incidental finding not related to the chest pain.

Did he mention anything about anemia, or low hemoglobin or hematocrit. What about liver disease? hepatitis?

This is interesting, keep us posted on what the doc's say.

Sounds like a very bad idea to me to seek amateur's diagnosis for something that might be something serious (or not). Stick to those doctors. There is a reason why they are called doctors, and we not.

You can seek brothers-in-pain once you have a medical and valid diagnosis. Until then, all you get here is something that goes like the story of the four blind men touching and describing an elephant.

Sounds like either angina or gastroesophageal reflux (when acid from your stomach backs up into your esophagus).
