It : It is important to have this medically evaluated. It may be a muscle as you state, but it could also be from your lungs or breast. I don't know your age but if you are due for a mammogram please be sure you are up to date. Please have this medically evaluated. Especially let your doctor know that it is worse when you inhale.
