Hi,
The description sounds like airway issue. It may be partial block of the stream of air right from the lower level of airway to the level of larynx. That produces the hissing sound. The chest pain can be related to heart or lung /airway related.
Lining of the heart (pericarditis) can recur and present it the same way and very short lived (6 to 8 sec) This is specially true for one with frequent infections / allergies / asthma. It is ideal to test if the frequency of the pain increases. Yes you should go for 2 D ECHO and blood counts with ESR first.
Let me know if you have further concerns.
