Back pain during deep breath and leaning forward

Yeah, so when I breath deep and lean forward, I have a sort of sharp pain in my middle-ish right back area, kind of near the rib cage maybe. My first thought is, of course, I'm going to die from lung cancer. Naturally I have no other symptoms of lung cancer, but you know how it goes. Paranoia sets in pretty quick.
I've had the pain for about a week to the best of my knowledge, and yes, I'm going to see a doctor. Just thought I'd see if anyone here has had something like this.
Breathing as deep and as hard as I can produces no pain, only the back area hurts when I lean forward with full lungs, like its putting pressure on and stretching the muscles back there. My lung capacity seems fine and I can work out and run without issues. No coughing issues. Just the back pain.
I'm hoping I just strained a muscle during deadlifts or tweaked a muscle somehow. I'd even settle for a blown disc if I had to choose between that and lung cancer. Too bad I don't get to choose.
Anyway, you guys ever have back pain like that? All my internet searches tell me I have heart failure, heart attack, cancer, dead already but don't know it yet etc.
