2. Unstable Angina (likely, requires evaluation)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely given no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely given no pleuritic pain or sudden onset)
5. Musculoskeletal Chest Pain (less likely given severity and radiation of pain)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Immediate ECG monitoring and interpretation
- Oxygen administration and pain management
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization capabilities
