Hi There,
I am not sure your suffering is related to ovarian cancer
what causes shortness of breath and chest pain will changes depending in your age. If your are 25, I think of very different things than if your are 65 years old.
in general causes include:
anxiety
smoking related lung injury
viral an bacterial infections
blood clots
inflammation of the ribs
cardiac issues
fluid in the lungs
if you feel that something is seriously wrong, , you should go to the emergency room
take care
