Sharp pain in lung on occasion

Very occasionally I'll get a sharp pain in my lung while breathing in that forces me to breathe out and not breathe in again for about 30 seconds until the pain is gone. Also often when i breathe in, then out it doesn't feel satisfying, Like how it usually does while breathing in (I feel like i need to breathe in again straight afterwards) It's been like this for a few years. The first thing only happens about once every couple weeks but the 2nd one is nearly all the time. I don't smoke but do live in a home with people who do if that sways any answers I will receive. Thanks.

I don't think it's your lung, it's most likely a muscle cramp in your midsection.
When you have this sharp pain, hold your arms up straight like you reach for the sky and breathe in as deep as you can. You will hate me for it as it's painful but after that, it will be gone.
