Sharp chest pain when running

Question

Asked for Female, 22 Years

I'm in the military and got stationed in Germany about a year and a half ago. I've always been good at running and have never had any problems with running. In August of last year I started getting a sharp chest pain while running, it first started about 3 miles into a run and now I can't ruun more than a 1/2 mile without pain. I was given an inhaler and it helped for a few runs but now it has no effect. I'm 22 years old.
