Referred pain: This could very well be referred pain from the nerve compression due to cervical stenosis however chest and mud back pain could be due to other serious cardiac causes such as an aneurysm or an impending heart attack/ angina. You need to visit the Emergency department immediately

Be sern: Although it may be coming from spinal stenosis in your thoracic area, it would be wise to be seen and rule out a cardiac or pulmonary cause, especially with the mention of associated chest pain and difficulty breathing.

Location important: Will need more information. What is the location of the stenosis. Need to know more about your medical condition to advise you. You can discuss this with your physician
