Expanding your rib cage with a deep breath would pinch an intercostal nerve or muscle which runs between 2 ribs. The discomfort could also be caused by a radiculopathy due to a bulging disc in your mid spine. A disc problem could also be present in your neck. See your MD or a neurologist for evaluation & testing.
