Sounds 99% Like stitches (miltsteek) ?
Stitches are usually caused by erratic or shallow breathing, which causes a muscle called the diaphragm to go into 'cramp'. the diaphragm runs just below the lungs and so if you breathe very rapidly in short, shallow breaths, then this muscle is affected most. The key to relieving a stitch then is to slow the breathing down, which often requires slowing the pace or walking, and to take very deep breaths with a focus on breathing from the lungs, chest and stomach, as opposed to just panting. What can lead to stitches is eating or drinking before, so have a look at whether that has happened and also see what you may have changed in your diet - perhaps you now eat white bread instead of brown, little things like that can cause it.
