Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is associated with stomach pain during breathing.
So possibility of GERD is more in your case.
So avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. A junk food. Drink plenty of fluids orally. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs. Avoid smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
You will mostly improve in 1-2 weeks.
If not improving than consult gastroenterologist and get done upper GI scopy to rule out internal pathology.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
