What Causes Sudden And Sharp Pains In The Back?

my upper back is giving me sharp pains, right by the spine whenever I move or inhale. If I move too much and he pain continues, I get light headed. I was wondering if rest and maybe some ice packs could help this, or should I go to the doctor right away
