3. Aortic Dissection (lower probability, no reported tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (lower probability, no reported pleuritic pain)
5. Panic Attack (less likely given the presence of diaphoresis and radiation)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- ECG monitoring and interpretation
- Administration of oxygen and aspirin
- Preparation for transport to the nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization lab
