What Can Cause Intermittent Chest Pain And Shortness Of Breath?

I have been having intermittent stabbing chest pain w/shortness of breath and pain into the back. Is this something that I need to be concerned about and seek attention soon. It has been going on and off for about 2 weeks. It is worse when active and first at rest.
