ok if it is related to your breathing the some thing fishy with your lungs going on, it could be pericarditis but if the pain is just localized to back and not in your chest then the pain could indicate pleuritis that is the inflamation of pleura. you should have a chest x-ray and if no trauma history is there then you can go with cephradine 500mg bd. also do some stretching exercise
