Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should first consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) and chest x-ray. Chest pain on breathing and urge to take deep breath can be seen in1. Bronchitis2. Pneumonia PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. Chest x-ray is needed to rule out pneumonia. If both are normal than no need to worry much.  It may be due to anxiety or due to muscular pain. So avoid stress and anxiety and take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
