See your doctor: Many things could do this, but more information from you might help find the reason for the pain. If it is severe, go right away and consider urgent care. If you have trouble getting enough air or if it hurts to take a deep breath, go to urgent care or the er. If not severe and you are breathing okay, try over the counter pain meds, and see your primary doctor if it continues to happen.
