Hurts when I breathe in

Hello - for the past 4 weeks It has hurt when I breathe in , especially deeply. Sometimes. I'm yawning several times a minute. Chest X-Ray is clear, saturated oxygen 95-96. Temperature is good. Doctor has prescribed antihistamines, inhalers (I'm not asthmatic) He blurted out the possibility of some viral infection of the surrounding lung  tissue and gave me Diclofenac ointment. Nothings changed, and repeatedly reaching for deep breaths is annoying. Help!!!

Or maybe a problem with your diaphragm? I am thinking of inflammation of some sort. Either would cause discomfort on taking deep breaths.

Could you be having a problem with the muscles involved in respiration? That could mimic a lung problem.
