Breathing involves changes in air pressure inside and outside your body. When you inhale, your chest expands because muscles between your ribs push the ribs apart to make a bigger space. Also, a sheet of muscle in the lower chest, called diaphragm, moves downward to make a bigger space.

Why do we experience pain in our ears as you go up in a high place?

The pain in our ears due to elevation change is caused by unequal pressure inside our bodies and the air pressure outside. As you go higher in elevation air pressure drops, so the pressure inside our bodies is higher that the outside environment. This high pressure inside our bodies causes pain as our bodies seek to regain equal air pressure with that of the environment by releasing air out of our ears; that is also why many people experience popping ears as they undergo dramatic elevation changes.
