What Causes Difficulty In Breathing?

Hi, im 22 years old, female and recently ive been finding it hard to breathe, it feels as if someone is squeasing my wind pipe every 2minutes or so, the pain is sharp, i sometimes have to hold my breath as the pain can be that sore, when i exhale i have no energy what so ever. Yesterday i was also sick twice if that may be any help. Thanks.
