I get this sharp pain in my chest when i take a deep breath. is this normal?

Chest pain: If it occurs only with deep inspiration, likely causes could include muscle strain, rib fracture, costochondritis, tracheitis(swelling of airway passage due to flue or cold). The onset of these symptoms, coupled with location of pain can help differentiate cause(s).
