What Causes Chest Pain Upon Deep Breathing?
Had chest pain starting about two wks ago. Started with inability to take a deep breath due to pain. Got much better but still get slight pain if I move my arms or upper body in exercise mode. Heart was checked out and is O.K. Have hiatal hernia. Could it be the cause, or maybe chest muscle pull?

Hello welcome to the health care magic
Your chest pain is associated with movement that suggest towards muscular strain pain
Hot compress beneficial
Avoid excess strenous activities
Take rest in proper supine position
If needed ibuprofen can be prescribed for five days
Avoid / restrict movement that causing pain
Hiatus hernia can lead acid reflux and pain burning pain in that, so this seems to be muscular strain pain
Take care
Hope your concern solved
