Sometimes i feel like my chest is really tight and part of my back hurts and i can't breathe properly. what could this be?

Need to see your : pediatrician since it can be many things that would be better seen in person, and discussed during a physical examination. It's better to speak to your doctor first rather than try to guess and worry about something you might not even have, and then worry even more about it. It could be as simple as sleeping in the wrong position to having bronchitis or neither. Do call your doctor for evaluation.
