Sharp pain with deep breath

Hello, I have a question. I have been experiencing sharp pains in my left side underneath my left breast, all the way to my back, whenever I breath in. It comes very suddenly, and lasts a couple of minutes. Its as if each breath causes the pain to shoot to my back. I have noticed after burping a lot and going to the bathroom, it feels MUCh better. I think I take in a lot of air. I burp all the time. Could this be digestion related? Its mainly on my left side! I get all kinds of other pains as well. Sharp ones in my shoulder and behind my left breast as well. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks! Kelly
