I kept feeling sharpe pain/chest tighten every now and then along with shortness of breath, what could this be ?

Chest pain: Sounds from the description like inflammation in the rib cage and its muscles and other structures. You should see a doctor and get an exam and evaluation as internet diagnosis is fraught with inaccuracy because of scant information.
