Problem is in your spine. You know, neurons are spread all over your body. By sitting, reading, lying, sport doing, you can patologise your spine. That very often causes pain in lung area. This ‘breathless’ is caused by alergy, infection or air pollution. You are too young (no smoker!) to get lung cancer. Your rybosomes are doing well. Somehow, try going to a doctor. Just to ensure.
Best regards.

You should get out of the house more.
I cant get your parents why they keep on smoking indoors if i had you as my child i should smoke outside untill your 16 years old. then your lungs are strong enough to hold that bit of smoke.
