Unless you have splenic pathology such as an enlarged spleen from mononucleosis or other hematology disorders, I don't think your discomfort is emanating from the spleen unless the diaphragm is dragging it down during intense breathing. . It is more likely muscle cramping or runner's stitch. I think it's worthwhile to have your MD examine your abdomen &advise you however.
