What Causes Chest Pain While Taking Deep Breath?

It hurts when I take a deep breath. I feel a discomfort/acute pain in my lower throat and upper chest and the pain is most apparent when I breathe deeply or take a sudden breath. I feel a slight discomfort in the upper part of my left arm but it s not painful or bothersome, just a slight discomfort.
