Feeling Loss Of Breath, Chest Tight, Cramps, Back Pain And Vomiting. Suggest

About a month ago my friend was giving me a bang on my back for a massage and suddenly I lost breathe, my body cramped up, my chest was tight and my back was in so much pain. I kept lacking breathe as if I'd forget to breathe and shock myself to breathe. I got the same thing except my body isn't cramping up but I'm vomiting. What would this be I'm scared to go to sleep and I'm really tired. I'm 18 in 2 weeks and I don't believe I should be feeling like this so young please help

Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Your case presentation involve several odd, unrelated and different kind of symptoms. I would like to consider multiple possibilities in following hierarchy:
•     Anxiety disorder: It need to be rule out by detailed interview by psychiatrist. Anxiety disorders can manifest with not only psychological symptoms (like excessive worry) but with a variety of physical symptoms also like: Tingling, numbness, choking sensation in breath, palpitation, chest heaviness, tremors (shakiness) etc.
•     Injury to spine: As your problem started after back massage. You may require investigation like MRI spine
•     Side effect of substance use: stop use if present
•     Cardiac and respiratory problem: Get evaluated by general physician
•     Combination of above mentioned causes.

Wish you good health and all the best.

Regards,
