Hello mam The pain you are describing, which occurs mainly with deep breathing, is often due to a muscle or rib/intercostal strain, especially if there has been recent exercise, prolonged posture, coughing, or an awkward movement. However, because the pain is related to breathing, it is important to rule out less common causes involving the lungs or chest. Please check your temperature, pulse and oxygen saturation if possible. If you have no breathlessness, fever, cough, chest pain, palpitations, coughing of blood, dizziness/fainting, or leg swelling, and the pain is mild and localized, you can monitor it initially. Rest, avoid activities that worsen the pain, and use local heat. Paracetamol can be taken if required, provided you have no contraindication. Please seek urgent medical attention if you develop difficulty breathing, significant/worsening chest pain, coughing blood, fainting, high fever, low oxygen saturation, or rapidly worsening symptoms. If the pain persists or does not improve over the next few days, please have an in-person examination with you physician or consult me in practo

It is nothing but muscle strain in 90% cases. Take a hot water compress for 15 minutes. Instantly you will get relief from pain. If there is no relief then we have to consider other causes.

It can be due to Muscle strain – more likely if it hurts with twisting, moving the shoulder back, or pressing the area. It can also be Pleurisy – sharp pain that gets worse with deep inspiration or coughing, sometimes after a viral/bacterial infection. OR. lung infection ,tell me if you also have fever, cough, sputum, breathlessness, or was it sudden!?? Consult immediately If you have worsening shortness of breath ,Chest pain,dizziness, fainting, fast heart rate, coughing blood, sudden severe worsening of pain, or any swelling or pain with the breathing If none of these are present, and you’re otherwise feeling well, it is less likely to be something dangerous. You can monitor it for a short period, avoid strenuous activity, and see whether movement or pressing the area reproduces the pain.

Pain on deep breathing can be due to a muscle strain, but pleurisy or a lung/chest problem must be ruled out—especially if it is new. Please tell me if you have fever, cough, breathlessness, injury, or pain worsening with movement. If you develop breathlessness, chest pressure, sweating or sudden worsening, seek emergency care now. Otherwise, book a Practo consult or visit me at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.

Pain in the upper back that worsens with deep breathing can have several causes, most commonly muscle strain or irritation of the chest wall, especially after exercise, prolonged posture, or a sudden movement. However, since the pain is related to breathing, other causes involving the lungs or pleura should also be considered. If the pain is mild and you otherwise feel well, you can rest, avoid strenuous activity, and use a warm compress. Avoid taking painkillers without considering your medical history and other medications. Please seek prompt medical evaluation if you develop breathlessness, chest pain, fever, persistent/worsening pain, cough, coughing blood, dizziness/fainting, palpitations, or sudden severe pain. If the pain persists despite rest or you are unsure about the cause, an in-person examination is advisable.

Pain that's worse specifically when you breathe in deeply is often muscular or related to the chest wall, but it needs to be checked to rule out anything in the lungs.
Next Steps
Please see a doctor soon, especially if you also feel breathless, feverish, or the pain is getting worse.
Health Tips
Don't ignore new breathlessness or chest tightness alongside this pain.
