There is a condition that I had in my early 20s,in laymans terms it was called chest wall pain.The lining of the chest wall swells causing severe pain,shortness of breath,and it leaves you with no energy, loss of appetite.Iwas told that was a rare condition,but this year my daughter was diagnosed with the same thing.It's most often found in women in their 20s.You may be experiencing this.You may want to ask your Dr. about this.And also have them check your gallbladder as it has some of your symptoms,if you have gallstones.
