It sounds like you have pulled a muscle. Your body uses muscles to help you breath and when you walk you also use muscles you don't think you normally would with those actions. You should seek medical attention though. If you are breathing shallow for too long you are not inflating your lungs to their capacity and you are at risk for atelectasis, which is where the alveoli collapse. After your pain goes away, your lung volume will still be low and you are at risk for developing other issues. Ice the area where it hurts the most and call your doc.

Hi, I agree that you should seek medical help. You should not play around with difficulty breathing.Call your primary health provider and see if you can be seen right away. As an EMT I would suggest you go to an emergence room if your condition gets worse.
