My 16-year-old daughter is experiencing sharp, in-and-out chest pains towards the heart area, which have gradually increased in severity throughout the day. The pain is more pronounced during physical activity and when she is in a crunched-up position, but it does not change significantly with eating or specific positions. She also reports slight wheezing, palpitations, and dizziness. What could be causing this pain and what steps should be taken?
