What Is The Cause For Back Pain With Breathing Problems And Stomach Cramps?

I woke up this morning to take my little brother to school and felt fine. I came back and went back to sleep for about three more hours and I woke up with a severe back pain that I feel when I move. It also affects my breathing, every time I feel the pain I get a reaction of holding my breath and flexing my stomach. Most of the pain come from the right middle area of my back within my ribs, but it inflicts my whole back. Not to long ago I tried sleeping but my stomach cramped up pretty bad almost like someone was squeezing it. Anyways I m awake wondering if this is something temporary maybe because I slept wrong. Or can it be something severe which I doubt because like I said when I took my brother to school I felt perfectly fine.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Since the pain is associated with deep breathing and there is no history of injury in the area, lung causes like pneumonia and pulmonary embolism need to be ruled out after proper investigations.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards.
