Hi,
I advice you to get examined once and get an x ray AP view to rule out any problem in bones or in underlying tissue. The examination and x ray can help in diagnosing the cause as this may be due to multiple reasons like problem in bone or pleura or lungs. Problem in deep breath suggest some problem in pleura or musculoskeletal cause. So I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and further management.
