Sharp pain that is sudden, comes and goes, under right rib cage, and sometimes around right breast. causes trouble breathing. what can this be?

Pleurisy: You're describing pleurisy. Since you take birth control pills, an unlikely but serious cause is a blood clot in your lung. The more likely cause is viral infection or even just muscular strain. But if this is new and because of the above, you need to be checked out to be sure it's not serious.
