Suggest Treatment For Pain In Upper Back And Difficulty In Breathing

Hi, I used to play soccer and I was fine running or sprint about a mile or two a day. After stop playing soccer for about a year or so and smoking weed occasionally. Today when I played soccer, I got a severe pain between my shoulders in the middle back. I use to get pain in my back but wouldn't make breathing hard, this one made it almost impossible for me to breathe because of pain. Thanks!
