Yesterday I was driving home and had horrible chest pains and then it moved up my neck and went to the right side of my face and my right jaw felt like it was locking up.  What could that be?

If you are having severe pain, crushing, squeezing, or pressure in your chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or if the pain moves into your neck, left shoulder, arm, or jaw, go immediately to a hospital.  

The doctor needs to rule out potentially life-threatening causes such as acute myocardial infarction, angina, pulmonary embolism and other conditions.

Take care!
