Many young people are under a lot of stress and suffer from anxiety nowadays. Prolonged stress and anxiety are often the only causes of chest pain and breathing difficulties but nonetheless, each such sensation should be checked by a doc.
If you do have anxiety problems, it could be the cause of your symptoms. I would see a doc if I were you but before you do that you should make a list of your symptoms and other attributes of the pain and breathing problems. You should explain the exact pain, when it starts, where it starts, if it spreads, how exactly it feels, if there’s anything that triggers the pain and breathing problems. Sometimes, these descriptions may be more important for the doctor then examination itself.
It is hard to think of everything when you see a doc for the first time, you forget many things. This is why it is important to think things through and possible writing them down before going to the doctor’s office.
