Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for your query.
Yes, no doubts you must see the doctor. A painful breathing usually indicates an inflammatory process of coverings of either heart, lung or at times structures just beneath diaphragm. Severe headache and blackouts are two other important signs of significant illness.
Blackout is usually due to sudden decrease blood supply to brain. At times severe systemic illnesses can cause this.
Hope this helps
Sincerely
