What Causes Pain In The Rib Cage With Nausea And Excessive Sweating?

I began having severe pain all the way around my rib cage two days ago. It was better today, but I woke up nauseated, and faint with chills followed by sweats. I have a pacemaker for bradycardia. I also have bundle branch block. An hour ago I had some of the same symptoms as this morning and a very slight numbness in my left cheek which has resolved. Doctors are testing for a definitive heart diagnosis.
