Why Did I Have Sharp Pain In Chest After Gulping Ice Water?

it was really hot in my room, and i love sleeping with blankets. Because it was hot, i wanted a cold drink, so i grabbed ice water. I chugged the glass of ice water down and laid down onmy belly. I got a very sharp pain in the middle of my chest a couple times. Why did it happen?
