Lately I've been feeling really strange
Well first of all, I'm a 15 year old girl. I've been having a lot of pain on both my sides. (even when I'm not on my period. I don't think period has anything to do with it.. .-.). Sometimes, I can't breathe, I mean when I try to breath my chest hurts ALOT, so I just have to wait a few seconds to be able to breathe normally again. My stomach hurts too, and I've been feeling a bit nauseous ( I'm not pregnant. That's for sure. I'm still a virgin mhm. ). And that's about it, this has been happening for a month i think, it's not CONSTANTLY happening but it happens let's say 3 times a week + I'm tired all the time ( I sleep well though ^^ ). So should I be worried? I've told my mom about it and she said that it's nothing. ((can this be because last year I've been swallowing lots of pills? --I was stupid and wanted to commit suicide, but it was just a few times and each time I did this, I Vomited--)).
I'm asking this just to make sure! ^^ so uhm, thank you in advance!

I doubt that it has anything to do with last year if it was going to affect you it would have been a little after you decided to take the pills. It doesn't sound to good that you have to wait to breath so. I would wait on it and if the pain really isn't bare able then I would bring it up to your mother again and suggest to her you go see a doctor to be safe

None of us are doctors so it is not possible for any of us to make a diagnoses. Even if we were doctors we would need to examine you before we could make a diagnoses and that is not possible over the web.
I do though disagree with your mother that what you are complaining about is not nothing. Anything that goes on for as long as this has is something. Just what that something is I can only guess at. The fact that it is bilateral says it could be inflamed ovaries, muscles strain from over exercise or a problem period you have not experienced in the past.
Since the most probable cause of the problem has to do with your reproductive system and you are over 14 years of age. You do not need parental permission to seek a doctors help for this problem. There is a Federal Law called HIPPA that grants you, at your age and older, the right to seek out a doctor for any problem or question you may have concerning your reproductive health.
Within the HIPPA law there is specific language that spells out the confidentiality granted to young people over the age of 14 for this purpose. Their right to seek medical treatment or have questions answered by a doctor for anything concerning their reproductive health with or without parental permission.
The purpose in writing this law as congress has done is two fold. First so that young people would seek a doctors help for something they might be too embarrassed to ask their parents about. The other is for an instance like yours where mom is telling you not to worry and you feel something is wrong.
I too am an adult and I disagree with your mom. Of course I do not know you as well as your mom does. Still I believe it is far better to seek a doctors opinion for something that hopefully is nothing; then what may be the alternatives if ignored.
All you need to see a doctor is your health insurance card. If you see a doctor who already knows you such as your family doctor or a GYN that has seen you or your mother before, then the card should be on file in their office. The doctor is prohibited by the HIPPA law of discussing your visit with anyone including your parents without written permission from you as this law also grants you total confidentiality.
So it is your choice as to whether or not to see a doctor. IF you chose to do so you can see your own doctors or go to a free women's clinic.
