Random scream of pain when held near the chest?

[Shakingnight]

Sorry for the long read
My girl Coco is just over a year old now, and has never been a fan of claw trims (or being held/pet in general as she wasn't originally raised with a lot of human contact), but when I took her to do just that today she made this absolutely heartwrenching screaming noise followed by and mixed with wheezing and what sounded like coughs or really bad sneezes.
Her weight has decreased very slightly over the past month but since then it has stayed the same and she behaves normally otherwise, so this is really weird and out of the blue.

She's made pained squeals before when I started to clip too close to the quick etc -she even did it in that same session- but she's never made a noise like this; I'm worried it might be a URI or some kind of similar, maybe long term condition as she has always sneezed more than her buddy in the presence of bad bedding/hay.

It was completely random initially. I was only holding her back paw and wasn't touching her chest at all, but she repeated the noises when I tried twice to lift her onto her rump to check her mouth+nose which are both normal. And what's weirder is that when I weighed her just now and held her on her rump(w/o the towel) to triple check her, the most she got was kind of laboured breathing...

This is literally the only thing off about her and it only happened when she was in my lap that one time but it sounded so severe that I can't avoid worrying...could she have reacted badly to something on the towel? Can hot weather or grass consumption cause this? What??
We've made plans to see the vet tomorrow morning but I don't even know what to tell them...

I would recommend to have her heart vet checked. Heaving/diaphragmic breathing can be a sign of a struggling heart. The heat spike is poison for anybody with heart problems of whatever species.

The previous screams were simply fear screams. My biggest bully boy of a boar was regularly screaming his head off during any nail cut. that is not unusual, especially if the quick has been clipped once.
