SEVERE PAIN! Please help me to figure out what is wrong

Hi. My name is malika. I am 15 years old I will be 16 in two weeks exactly. I have a 7 month old baby girl. Since i gave birth to my daughter I've had multiple problems with my body. The last two weeks I have had piercing sharp pains though out my chest and back. At certain times the sharp pains will spread through out my whole entire chest, ribs and back preventing me from breathing and even moving. The more I breathe in, the more it hurts. I also feel nauseous all the time. I am really concerned. I can't participate in any sports or anything with out the pain coming. I also have had severe pain in the upper/middle part of my abdomen. What could this be?

I would say you should go check it out as soon as possible...
I had a similar pain...I had sharp pain from my upper chest to the bottom of my rib cage and all the way through to my back...it also caused me not being able to breathe and I wasn't able to move around or walk as much...every time I moved and breathed in or out, the pain was so intense especially when the pain continued for about a week. I went to check up with my doc and was rushed to the emergency. I had a pneumothorax, which was air trapped between my lung and my rib cage causing my lung to collapse; which led to a immediate surgery. I am not sure if yours might be the same, but it is safer to check it out. Mine happened spontaneously and it can also come from a big impact or carrying heavy loads.
Feel better...
