Hello,
This could be due to some inflammation in you ribs that is causing this much trouble while taking breaths. This could also be due to lung, heart and stomach problems as well. I suggest you to seek proper medical attention that might includes further testing and necessary treatment if needed after your careful assessment. Meanwhile, take over the counter NSAIDs for your pain relief.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
