Could The Pain While Breathing Be Due To Pulled Muscle?
I think I pulled a muscle in my chest, when I closed a heavy window this morning. When I inhale it hurts. Certain movements also hurt when using my right arm (opening a door, raising my arm, etc). Could this be a pulled muscle or something more severe?

Yes muscles that are on the chest and cross to the shoulder could have been pulled out and this would be causing all this pain. Take rest and analgesic and this will settle in few days.
