What Could Chest Pain With Hard Breathing Indicate?

I have not had a drink in 24 hours but have a horrible pain in the middle of my chest that goes thru to my back and under my arms. it is hard to breathe. I slept most of the day to get rid of my hangover and now have this pain. it's pretty bad. I drank some mylanta thinking it was heartburn it did not help. any other ideas?

You should seek medical attention immediately. Pain like this can be serious and causes can include tear of the esophagus due to damage by alcohol and vomiting or an ulcer in the stomach. It can also be a tear in a blood vessel or a heart related problem. You should go to the emergency room to have these symptoms evaluated and exclude serious causes.
Best of luck.
