What could cause upper back pain that radiates to shoulders? only 21 also experiencing shortness of breath sometimes but isnt connected with the back ache?

Most frequently musculoskeletal involving spine and paraspinal muscles reflecting posture and prolonged activities during the day, straining specific muscle groups. Other conditions cannot be ruled out. Getting your doc involved early may help in addressing it properly.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
