I pulled a muscle from my armpit through the area under my collar bone. it hurts to take a deep breathe. what should i do?

Sure it is muscle?: Generally, muscle strains heal with time, rest and anti-inflammatories. Warm compresses may help as well. If this doesnt get better in a week or so, chest xrays may be needed to be sure you haven't cracked a rib.
