What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Chest Pain?

For three days now, I ve been having some problems breathing. It feels like i m not getting enough air into my lungs and it s making my back ache and the middle of my chest (between my breasts) hurt/ ache ?? It kind of feels like I m wearing a vest that s too tight for me so I m not getting enough air. Or another example of how it feels to me is, it s like when i breathe in deep, i get so close to getting the full breath of air but right before i do, it s like a door shuts on me. Deep breaths feel a bit strained, not like they hurt exactly but almost like it s sore. My mom thinks that this is all in my head and that I m straining my lungs by trying to breathe in deep and hard when i m actually breathing normally?? I m not really sure what s going on, but I do know that I have some asthma and allergies to pollen and the pollen count is very high here right now. I d love if you could shine some light onto what s going on with me. I m 19, I don t smoke or drink. I m a bit scared and worried about it; also my mother refuses to take me to see a doctor because we don t have the money and also she thinks that it s all in my head. Please help, thank you !!
