See your doctor: Pain that severe needs to be worked up by your doctor in person. He/she will listen to you, perform an examination and possibly order some tests to see what's wrong with you.

Could be...: Several things. Painful periods can be caused by fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, hormone imbalance or you may just make a lot of the chemical that makes periods painful. You should definitely see your doctor for an exam, ultrasound and treatment options. There are a lot of options out there!

See a doctor: Lots of possible explanations but if it hurts to breath you should not put off getting an evaluation and treatment. The list of problems includes respiratory problems (such as asthma), respiratory infections (ie pneumonia, bronchitis), cardiac (heart) problems, musculoskeletal (muscle & bone) problems, back problems, even abdominal (stomach/intestine) problems.
