Pain breathing in: Inhaling involve active muscular work while exhaling is passive elasticity of thorax. Muscles work and hurt after they have been overworked for a long time. When it rythm with the breathing, it surely is not related to the heart but can be from the enveloppe f the heart [pericardium] when it is inflammed and the breathing rubs on the enveloppe. Pain can also come from pneumonia...

Usually pleurisy: Which is irritation of the lining of the chest cavities, usually from inflammation or infection (pneumonia) or can be from lung cancer. If persists, see your md and possibly get chest x-ray.
