Upper back hurts when breathing. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: This could be related to your thoracic spine, your rib attachments to your spine, or due to some problem with your lungs. You are not going to know the answer without the help of a doctor and probably a chest x-ray.
