Why Am I Feeling Short Of Breath When Doing Exercise?

Hello, I am an 18 year old female, I weigh 9.5stone.

I have had chest problems for the past year or so now. When I exercise, or bend a certain way, my chest makes a very loud wheezing noise and I get short of breath. I went to the doctor last year and she said it may be tietze syndrome. My inhaler doesn't help, I don't think it's asthma. Any advice? Thanks!
