Many things - possib: Possibly serious. Heart/lung/musculoskeletal are most common. Can you breathe deeply and comfortably? Any nausea or shortness of breath? See a doctor right away.

Not likely: The upper back is a common area for muscle tension. Serious problems would be cervical or thoracic discs with referred pain or referred pain from internal organs.
