3. Aortic Dissection (less likely given no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely given no pleuritic pain)
5. Musculoskeletal Pain (less likely given radiation and associated symptoms)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- ECG monitoring and interpretation
- Oxygen administration
- Pain management protocols initiation
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac services
