Mid right of back pain. feels like deep pressure & sharp pain- stabbing worsening when i breathe. took motrin & using heating pad for 2 hrs now?

Get checked: Continue current treatment and limit any movement activities that make the pain worse. (of course, this excludes limiting your breathing, though you will probably breath with more shallowness). I would still recommend you see your physician, since there is a possibility you have pleuritis, pleurodynia (due to a viral infection) or acute pneumothorax (potentially serious). . Hope that helps
