Exam needed: These symptoms are concerning and can be seen with pericarditis, esophageal spasm or inflammation. Less likely possibilities include pneumonia, pleurisy, or other lung pathology. Prompt evaluation and testing are best done in the hospital emergency room. I recommend heading there as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment.
