What Causes Intermittent Pain In The Chest?
I have pain that comes and goes between my lower chest and upper abdomen, am sweating and was having a hard time breathing somewhat. Took aspirin and and a Xanax and it seams to be subsiding. I have had multiple anxiety attacks over 10 years but this feels different. I had a cortisone shot in my foot at 9am this morning. Breathing better now but still somewhat tight in the chest with slight cramp.

Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor. I have read your query and here is my advice.
You tell me this is a different pain, sweating, and difficulty breathing.
SIR, YOU MAY BE HAVING A HEART ATTACK! Call an ambulance NOW!
And have them take you to the closest hospital.
I hope that after an evaluation, you will be alright.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.
