I have had a problem were i cant breathe and it hurts my rib cages to where i cant do anything and they feel restricted. There are sharp pain in my side, and i cant move sometimes. I know its not asthma. I get short breaths and sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night/early morning because i cant breathe or i get sharp pains in my sides and rib cages, im lacking in rest, and im always tired. I'm never satisfied with any breaths that i take, and deep breaths are a difficult challenge for me, and i feel i cant overcome that challenge. I feel that my ribs are too close to each other, when i bend to a certain point. They rub against each other and it is an excruciating pain. I played sports since i was young and it hasn't affected me until now, im always use to being active, and now that i currently quit SOME of my sports its hard for me to breathe, and i loose breathe even walking up the stairs to my bedroom.

Please help me.

Alyssa.
