Sharp pain like you are describing is not typical of asthma. You could be having something else going on that is making your asthma also worse. Sharp pain like you are describing could be due to pneumonia, particularly if you are having fever, cough and increased phlegm. Another condition that can cause pain like this is a blood clot and this can be dangerous. So yes, I would definitely recommend that you get evaluated in an emergency room.
