A member asked:
Is it common to have a heart pain every time you breathe deeply?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: No it is not normal, and it may not be heart pain. It may be chest wall (ribcage) pain or even pericardial pain or pulmonary embolism pain see your doctor.

No: This should be evaluated by a physician with an exam and ekg, particularly if it is new and if there are any other symptoms such as shortness of breath. Heart or chest pain with deep breaths can be benign, especially if it is mild and not new, but can also be a sign of inflammation around the heart (pericarditis) or a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolus), amongst other things.
