Dull, Throbbing Pain in left side of chest with headaches?

I am a 22 year old female. My pain starts on the left side in my chest, its sudden, moderate, deep feeling, dull and some what throbbing, and it does make it slightly hard to breathe. After a few minutes my throat starts hurting the same way, then i'll get a quarter sized headache slightly above my left eye that throbs too. The pain hasn't been too severe, lasts about 10 minutes, and only happens maybe once a week. At first I thought it was from exercising too much, but I slowed down on that alot and it still does it. I've looked everywhere to try and figure out what it could be and haven't had any luck. The only thing I found was maybe a narrow aorta because my 2 1/2 month old was born with that and I was wondering if it was possible that I have the same thing. 

Clarification

What is the total duration of this problem?

This has been happening for a couple of months now, not getting better or worse yet. I just feel really tired all the time now. At first I thought it was from moving in with my husbands parents because they fry a lot of food, but I don't eat a lot of it. I try to eat and drink as healthy as I possibly can.

Answer

First simple gastritis need to be considered. Try anti social acid medication and see. Try aludrox or digene two tablets thrice daily. If the problem is not settling then you need to think about other causes. If it is responds to Gastritis then you need to take anti acid medications such as Prilosec (Omeprazole 20mg twice a daily).
