Why Am I Experiencing Pain In Taking Deep Breath And Pain Under Chest?

Hi , I v been experiencing pain as I take deep breaths , today in my left chest, under my breast but before in my upper back. it seems like my breath is caught off with this very sharp pain. this goes on and off and I have been experiencing it for more than a year. it comes on every few months. What could be the reason?

Dear sir/madam, by your description the pain looks like a muscular pain ( something like fibromyalgia ). If you are concerned about heart problem, then if the pain what u are experiencing increases if u exert then its definetly related to heart problem. These pains which increases on deep breathing, sneezing, movements of body then its purely muscular problem. Just get electrocardiogram done to rule out cardiac cause as u have pain since longtime. Better consult once a physician/cardiologist. Hope u find this informative.
