What Can Cause Sharp Chest Pain Along With Breathing Difficulty And Sweating?
I was sitting on the couch with the kiddos when I started having horrible sharp chest pain, after a minute (if that) I got a tightness feeling in the lower middle of my chest. Breathing became hard and slow and sweats started. My hands went numb like tingly. I didn't move and just tried concentrating on my breathing. It lasted about 20 minutes, then went away. I have very mild chest pain now that I think I only notice because of what just happened but it seams to be moving from one spot to another. Other then that I feel alright now besides a mild head ach.

Hi,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms are not typical of a cardiac disorder. Anyway, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:
- a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes
- a chest X-ray study
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
