Hi,
Chest pain on deep breathing or yawning usually suggest inflammation of pleura (the covering of lung). This can happen following a viral respiratory infection. If there are no other symptoms like fever or cough, try taking analgesics like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for 3 days. If not getting better by then, kindly see your doctor for evaluation. In that case you may be asked for an X-ray
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
