What Causes Throat And Chest Pain While Taking Deep Breath?
For about a week I ve experienced a pain in my throat and chest when I take a deep breath. Even just lying down on my back I can feel the uncomfortableness and pain. Been having frequent headaches and also a sharp throbbing pain in middle of back. Could this be serious?

Hello and welcome.
The first thing I would have to recommend is an EKG, Although unlikely but we will have to rule out any cardiovascular issues.
We should also consider the fact that many gastric conditions can also mimic symptoms of cardiac events. Thus, once cardiac involvement is ruled out consider speaking to your doctor about conducting investigations like a 24-hour acid pH monitoring, upper GI endoscopy, comprehensive blood count, etc.
