Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Cannot say in your situation but you might be able to. If the pain is external then a pulled muscle is quite likely to be the cause. If it is internal and triggered by breathing, then something involving the lung would be a strong possibility. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman
