What Causes Breathing Difficulty And Tight Sensation In The Chest?

My 13 yr old constantly complains that she cant breathe. It s like she can t take a deep breath. She feels tight in the chest and tends to yawn alot when this happens. It s been happening for about 2 years now. GP has checked her heart and that is clear, but I still have no answers and she is getting more and more distressed about it.
