A few possibilities: Your symptoms and their location could be consistent with problems in the back muscles (strain or fatigue), lung issues (infectious or congestion), and less likely but still possible urinary tract (infectious). You've probably tried conservative things like heat, ice, Tylenol, (acetaminophen) and drinking fluids. Now, it's time to make an appointment with your doctor before things get more complicated.

Anything: Back pain is very non specific and be caused by multiple things such as muscle strains, bone disorders. In addition, internal issues such as lung problems, heart problems, and stomach/pancreas problems can also cause back pain. With the development of pain with respiration this should be evaluated urgently for things such as pulmonary emobli (blood clots).
