What Could Stabbing Chest Pain Near The Ribs Suggest?

I feel like I can t enough air into my lung. This has been going on for 3 months now. I went to a wellness center in my school and all they did was give me a clairitin and a red allergy pill, and all it did was make me stuffed up. I m not allergic to any medication. I m very active I run about 2-3 miles everyday besides Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I m a girl I already started my period but I m not on it. Sometimes my heart hurts like a sharp stabbing pain. When I was at practice beneath my ribcage was hurting really bad and the upper right side of my back was hurting and that was under my ribs too.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
thanks for your question
i understand your concern
actually pain beneath rib cage / chest / chest wall / near diaphragm can be due to variety of reasons like gastritis , peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers , pleural effusion, and cardiac diseases. cardiac diseases r less common in healthy young people.
you need to visit a pulmonologist who can request for a chest xray and ecg which can be helpfull in diagnosing the cause.
most common cause can be gastritis / peptic ulcer.
it would be easier if you describe the pain indetail and its relations like , with food , time of pain , relation woth respiration etc
thanks
feel free to ask more questions
may god bless you with good health
