This could be caused by a few different things, but it is most likely a dysfunctional rib, a very common and benign condition that is easily treated in many cases with a single visit to a chiropractor.

It is advised that you consult your doctor (medical or chiropractor) if you are in pain for an unknown reason, especially while pregnant. There are some causes of pain that are serious health threats, these need to be ruled out by a trained professional.

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Only I coughed and before I knew it I was doubled over on the couch gasping for air. I could feel my lower right rear rib muscles contracting to the point that it was hard to breath. This lasted for several minutes and finally began to let up. It was still very sore and I could feel the muscle when I breathed. I put heating pad on it for about 30 45 mins and this helped tremendously. Try to use warm moist heat. You may want to go to the hospital, especially if it worsens.

Most often a result of a muscle strain. How severe is the pain? If you've suffered a fall onto an outstretched arm or shoulder it might be referred pain from a sprained acromioclavicular joint. The question is rather vague and more information could help us answer it more effectively.

Many causes are possible, but the fact that breathing causes the sharp pain limits the theoretical differential diagnoses, and three main common causes to consider would be a fractured rib, a pneumothorax (air in the pleura) or simply pleurisy (inflammation of the pleural membrane). A pneumothorax is a medical emergency which needs immediate attention.

Most of us periodically have an ache like this, but it is usually transient and doesn't last long. If you have a fever or continuous pain then you should get to a doctor as soon as possible.

If it is a burning sensation in your back while you are breathing in, then it is most likely pnemonia, get to the doctor, most probably treatable by antibiotics.

Many different things cause pain, however, in the situation that you have described, I would suspect a cracked rib.

It is unlikely to hurt yourself while breathing in and out normally.
