Wake up with upper chest pain and shortness of breathe, did all cardiovascular work up years ago and was told was fine. i've been dealing with this for 5 years, had linx surgery for acid reflux 1 year ago, help?

ER NOW!: or call 9112: never ignore chest pain, even moreso, if associated with shortness of breath. Have someone drive you to the ER-ASAP.
