Nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am

According to the details provided by you I would like to tell to that the pain which you are experiencing while breathing is most likely due to muscle soreness.

As you don't have any other health issues so this pain could not be attributed to anything serious as of now.

My advice to you is to take rest, try avoiding doing heavy household stuff for a couple of days and along with this take a Tablet of Paracetamol 500mg twice a day for 3 days. Most likely this will resolve the issue.

However still to be 100% sure I would like you to get one EKG done to make sure that your heart rhythm is within normal range.

And if the discomfort doesn't get resolved even after 3 days of doing the above mentioned things then it's advisable that you should personally consult a doctor and get yourself properly evaluated.

I hope this information will be of help. If you have any other doubts you can ask me back or else you can close the discussion and kindly rate the answer.

I wish you good health
