HELP......What should I do?!


Question: HELP......What should I do?
I woke up yesterday morning because of shooting pain whenever I breathe on the right side of my chest. It is a sharp shooting pain that comes every time I take a breath. Nothing else is hurting but my chest. What is going on? Should I go to the hospital? I know its not my back or anything like that.
I wasn't working out or anything like that the day before. I am very dizzy and light headed but that has been going on for a week. The pain started this morning. Should I be seen in the ER or what, I called my doctors office and they have no appoitments available. My heart rate monitor has been tracking my heart rate at 110 -120ish since yesterday.
For some background on me,
I am 20 yrs old. I am just over 5'5" and weigh 142 lbs. I have always had a slightly fast heart rate with type 1 diabetes. My sugars are under control so that isn't part of this

Go ER. It could be nothing, but you want a professional to tell you what is really going on. Best of luck :)
