It sounds like you have the whooping cough. If you've been in, or live in, or have relatives near Illinois it's common. But, it could still be in, say, Texas. I suggest you go directly to a doctor and see. The whooping cough can be very serious.

Pneumonia symptoms include cough productive of sputum (usually green or yellow), high fever (above 101 F), some shortness of breath. Night sweats are also often present, though not always. Also if you are smoking, that could be making thigns far worse. Xray is very helpful with diagnosis.  Hope that helps a bit, though I will still say you should see a doctor if you are concerned

You should contact a doctor. Your ribs can hurt for a variety of reasons but from what your describing with the pain in breathing it sounds like it's your lungs. Don't freak out, with these cough and cold symptoms its probably not too big a deal.If you let it go though you might end up with pneumonia and if that sits to long you end up with pluracy, which hurts your ribs more then you would like to find out. So don't bug but see a doctor soon.

It's not normal to feel pain when you cough unless you are coughing really hard, if you are not having troubles breathing that's good, but you might want to ask your doctor what could be causing this sudden pain when you cough.You could have emphysema or congestion in your lungs.

the process that making chest pain is not from quiting smoking or not,it's about how much and how long u'd ever been smoking .coz it's the long term process and irreversible..smoking is one of factor that can make u have chest pain ,but they're still more of factors\nonce u have risks(Hypertension,dyslipidemia , Obesity ,Diabetes mellitus ,smoking, male ,stressed personality) u'll prone to develop chest pain , and it's very important that u have controlled ur underlying disease well enough..\nand if u have chest pain when u're on exertion and relieved by resting , this kind of pain still be not severe ,u can relief pain by sublingual pills (nitroglycerin) but if things getting worse, rush to the hospital..this is very serious situation..

consult your doctor and he most probably will ask you do a chest x-ray. \nred in your sputum might indicate the presence of bleeding, probably during your coughing, the lining of your throat was scarred. \nwhile you are scheduling your appointment, the one that works for me when i have a cough with phlegm is this...mix 2 tbsp. of honey to a freshly squeezed lemon juice, then add at least 1 tbsp of rhum. drink at least 2 tbsp of this mixture every 4 hours. a doctor friend of mine taught me this...\nhope this helps.

I believe in general that coughs help rid your body of germs or other things that may have made their way into your airway.  Coughing is also common when there is a lot of drainage from nasal congestion hitting back of the throat (especially after taking decongestants).

where do you live? It IS winter and the air could be pretty cold and dry which will hurt in your mose when you breath hard. As for chest pains it could be a number of reasons but if u are just starting to run or jog then perhaps your body is just not used to it. Monitor yourself carefully, it might or might not be anything.

My husband gets this all the time.  He was actually hospitalized at one point because they thought that he was having a heart attack.  They said it is something air getting between the lining of his lungs and his chest wall.   It is called pleurisy.   I would suggested wearing a mask when you go outside.  This way the cold air doesn't go right into your mouth.\n\nHere is something I found about Pleurisy on a website.  Hope this helps.\n\n:One of the most characteristic and easy to diagnose types of chest pain is pleurisy from inflammation or irritation of the parietal pleura, which is innervated by branches of nearby intercostal nerves and, over the center of each hemidiaphragm, by the phrenic nerves. In contrast, the visceral pleura is not innervated by nociceptive (pain) receptors, but owing to the contiguity of the visceral and parietal pleural surfaces, inflammatory processes in the periphery of the lungs often cause the pain of pleurisy by extension across the membranes.\n\nBecause most intrapulmonary disorders are apt to be localized within a single lung, pleuritic pain is usually sharply restricted to the ipsilateral chest wall or shoulder, cutaneous areas supplied by the involved intercostal or phrenic nerves, respectively. But perhaps the most singular feature of pleurisy is its unmistakable relationship to breathing movements. The pain may be variously described as “sharp,” “dull,” “achey,” sometimes “burning,” or simply a “catch,” but whatever its designation, it is worsened by taking a deep breath, and either coughing or sneezing causes intense distress. The aggravation by breathing causes patients to seek, find, and remain in the body position that most restricts movement of the affected region.

Haha, whatever you said, I'm assuming you cough up a little bit of blood sometimes? It means something is wrong in your lungs...go to the doctor.

a post nasal drip means there is mucous and phlegm running down the back of your pharnyx, into the back of the throat, which irritates it, thus causing the cough.

Could just be some simple sinus drainage into your chest.  You need to go ahead and mention it to your parents.  Simple over the counter meds may give you some relief.  The drainage may cause you to cough while laying down and go away after you are up walking around.  Prop yourself up on a pillow and try not to lay flat.  As we get older our allergies and sinuses are more sensitive.  If the cough is dry, some heated humidification in your room may help.  If you are miserable, steam up the bathroom with a hot shower and sit in there to breathe in some moisture.

Yikes, quick ask a doctor!  Sorry, but tightness in the chest is a serious symptom so don't look for an amateur explanation.

How old are you? Does your chest hurt all the time, or only when you breathe deep? Do you have any swelling in your legs, or anywhere else? Either symptom you gave could be serious, and need to be checked out by your Dr. You could have bronchitis, pneumonia, or even more serious problems such as Congestive Heart Failure-which doesn't mean you have had a heart attack, neccesarily. GO TO THE DR!

When you cough, you are using muscles, erectors are muscles that go up and down the spine so they would move and pull.
