You should either go to an emergency room or get in to see your doctor ASAP. It could be any thing from heart related or you could be having anxiety attacks. You should DEFINITELY go to the ER if you experience any of the following with the chest pain: shortness of breath chest pressure/tightness sweating nausea vomiting radiating pain (pain in the shoulders/arms/jaw or back) Better to be safe than sorry!
