First, would absolutely get evaluation for heart stability, as this could represent anginal pain.  Secondly, investigate potential of problem within brachial plexus, or even referred pain from neck.

Accepted Answer

Pain in the chest that is exacerbated by taking a deep breath is usually due to a muscle strain, pleurisy, or costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage attaching the rib to the sternum).  If you have had an upper respiratory illness lately then pleurisy is certainly possible. Otherwise, the muscle strain or costochondritis are more likely. All of them can be improved with antiinflammatory med.

Any pain when taking a deep breath can range from a muscle spasm to an actual lung or heart condition.

See your doctor and get a physical exam along with an EKG. If it is chest wall pain, the physical exam will reveal that. If it is at all related to your heart, your EKG will be abnormal.
