Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I cannot say in your particular case, but generally, pain with difficulty in breathing is associated with a respiratory structure. It can be the beginnings of pneumonia, the inflammation of lungs from a virus, irritation of the diaphragm and pulled muscle from coughing are the common causes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
