Why Does It Hurt Bad When I Take A Deep Breath?

My ten year old has been complaining with not being able to get good breaths, he says it is like trying to breathe through a straw. He says that if he takes a deep breath when this happens it hurts really bad. He has been saying this for over a week what is your opinion?
