What Causes Pain Under The Armpits While Breathing?

Today I fainted and when I came to I noticed that about three inches under my right arm pit hurts when I move or take deep breaths. I looked at the area and there is what looks like a dimple there that has never been there before and it is where the pain is shooting from. What do you think it is. I think I must of hit the fall when I fainted but when I woke up I was laying on floor. I will address the fainting since it has happened once before at my next doctor visit. Just worried with this pain now.
