What Causes Heaviness In Chest With Mild Pain?

I am a 36 year old female. I have been having mild chest pain and sometimes it feels heavy. My back has been hurting and I m having a hard time breathing right. I feel like I can't catch a full breath and its scary. I just had an echo a few weeks ago and the Dr. Said he would call me in sooner if he saw anything wrong. And he hasn't so I don't know what the problem is. Any answers? Please.

Hello
This could be from a pulmonary embolus so you need a spiral chest ct scan to check for that.

This also could be a disc problem in your thoracic spine so, were I your doctor, I would also get an MRI scan of your thoracic spine
