Hi,
Thanks for posting your querry.
After reading your symptoms i feel that you are suffering from muscle spasm. These generally do not last long.
I would advice you to apply any local analgesic ointment at the site of pain/catch while breathing along with any anti inflamatory painkiller drug with a muscle relaxant. Hot foamentation may also help relieve the discomfort.
If the pain does not subside then you must see a physician for a. examination as he will then prescribe the drugs accordingly.
Hope you feel better soon.
Regards
