What Could It Be?

Lately I've been getting a sharp pain right underneath my left breast. Within the past week the pain has lasted has long has five minutes and has become more frequent. I can feel the pain coming on before it gets to worse where I can't breath as deeply as normal. I take short, quick breathes whenever i get this "attack". When I apply pressure it doesn't always make it hurt worse. When the "episode" happen i do not feel any other pain other then that which is occuring. I am a 18 year old female. I used to get this pain when i was younger like 14-15 but it never was this painful or lasted this long.

What do these symptoms sound like?

I am scared it could be worse then i think...

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated  

Please & Thanks! =]

The pain sounds pleurtic ie, coming from the lungs and you should get this evaluated.  Go see your primary care doctor.
