Breathing in problems.

Hi, my name is Fadwa and I am 17 years old. I woke up today feeling sharp pain in my chest/lung area and up through my throat. I am having a lot of trouble breathing in and feel like its an infection somewhere but I can't pinpoint where because it hurts throughout my chest and into my throat. It doesn't hurt when I cough or when I'm in an upright sitting position but it hurts a lot when I lay down probably because of gravity. I also get very dizzy like when I went up the stairs I almost blacked out. This has never happened to me before until this morning and I've never had any symptoms of allergies or asthma. Completely healthy, until today.

How are you doing?  I hope you went to the Dr with your symptoms.  Please update us.  It can be from bronchitis causing such sharp pains or a myriad of other things that only an in person live visit with a dr. can determine.
