hard to breath\shortness of breath \back pain

I am unsure as to why i cannot breath properly. yesterday i did pick up a light case, and the hours following i started to feel a pain in my back around my shoulder blade, it got tighter and tighter and now my breathing is restricted to half of its normal capacity. I cannot lean forward without being in pain and my chest feels horribly tight. I'm trying to remain calm as i realise if i was to panic i don't think i would be able to get enough oxigen.
Is this a strain? or is there something wrong with my lungs? Help???
 
A collapsed lung was my first thought. Like MM said, go to the ER.

Please come back and let us know what they said and how you are.

it sounds like a strain it will last for about 3 weeks it happened to me once but go to the docs if you are really concerned.
