What Causes Occasional Pain While Taking Deep Breath?

Hi! I'm 18 years old (female) and for a very long time, since I was a kid, I would get random times where I had to take shallow breaths because it felt like my lungs got caught on something and it was like sharp pains if I breathed in too much. It seems like its gotten worse recently. Any idea what it could be?
