See the ENT: I would have the ENT doctor who performed the trach to examine the stoma. It may have scared and is putting some pressure on your trachea. The tension increases with deep breathing. There may also be a bit of erosion as well

See your doctor: It is difficult to tell from your description whether the problem is in the wound or inside the chest. In either event, you need to see your doctor, who can help you figure out what's causing the pain. Good luck!
