Dr. Matthew Solhjem's answer:

My chest feels heavy and hard to breathe, do I have lung cancer? Not a smoker. In brief: No.

It is extremely unlikely that you have lung cancer given your young age and that you're not a smoker. But your symptoms of chest heaviness and difficulty breathing should be evaluated by your physician (fairly urgently).
