See the doctor NOW.: There are many possible causes, but if it hurts to breathe, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Various reasons: Could be pleurisy, e.g. From pneumonia. Could be musculoskeletal like rib or chest wall muscle problem. Could be tumor, e.g. Lung cancer. Should get checked by your md, with chest x-ray at least, may be even ct scan.
