5 days without sleep?

I'm not entirely sure if it's been exactly 5 nights, but I haven't been able to sleep nearly at all (despite feeling wide awake) and have been having chest, neck, side, and shoulder pain ever since it started.

I've had pain for some time now, but it seems to have gotten a lot worse, and it seems as if I may be unable to sleep because of it. On top of that, my heart seems to be beating rapidly when I'm laying down and during the day lately, even though I am not anxious.

So far I've tried meditation, melatonin, a warm bath, etc. but nothing seems to be working. What could this be? It's possible I am catching Z's here and there, which is perhaps why I haven't seen any more severe symptoms or started hallucinating, but it still feels like I've gone without sleep for days.
