Sudden chest pain and breathing
difficulties could indicate a heart
disorder that must be objectively
identified with an ECG. You can also
request a coronary stress-test. Lung
disorders such as asthma should be also
checked as possible diagnoses. You can
consult your primary physician first for a
referral to an internal medicine
specialist.
