When i inhale the upper left part of my back hurts, why?

Poss Muscle strain: If you strained a muscle attached to your shoulder blade, it can hurt when you breathe. Less commonly a collapsed lung can cause pain over the shoulder on the same side. Might be a good idea to get it checked out soon, or immediately if shortness of breath develops. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
