Chest Pain and Breathing Difficulty

Question

Asked for Female, 17 Years

I've been having recurring chest pains since 2 days now and it pains in whole of the vertical region between my rib-cage and a bit towards the left chest. The pain grows from mild to heavy and sometimes it's hard to breathe and suffocating as well. I've had breathing troubles before a few times but it is the first time I've experienced such pain.
