Panic attack maybe...?!
Question: Every now and then I get these really bad pains in my chest. Right in the center. Sometimes I can't even move when I get them because whenever I move they get sharper. Sometimes I have trouble breathing but I try to stay calm because I know it'll will only get worse. At times I feel like I'm choking, especially when I'm laying down when it happens. It happens at weird times. It can happen when I'm driving or doing nothing at all. I've been diagnosed with depression and put on anxiety medication as well. Could it be a panic attack?

Sounds like all your mental tension is suddenly turning into physical tension. I used to get that, I sympathize.
The progressive relaxation exercise worked for me, maybe it'd help you too?

Not if you remember it...
may be a heart murmur
i have heart murmurs and it sounds similar to what u have
cut down on the hamburger, cheese & eggs.
I had this for years as a child. I was diagnosed with epilepsy because I passed out form it a lot, but then they undiagnosed me and said I just had really bad heart burn. All I can say is the more you excersize the better it gets. Eat healthy, and when it happens, try tobreathe in steam..that helped a lot. If it doesn't gte better soon go to a doctor..you could have serious heart problems.
good luck!
