Question 1

i cough and sneeze sometimes and my lungs hurts and while i don't cough or sneeze they hurt a little?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 2

what are some possible reasons that my lungs feel heavy and hurt when i breathe or sneeze?

Accepted Answer

May have infection: Whether in your lungs or under your lungs near diaphragm.  A chest x-ray would be a worthwhile option for you.  Sometimes, people develop spontaneous pneumothorax with collapse of one lung. If you have difficulty breathing, go to the hospital.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Many things.: Could have fluid around the lung, a blood clot, a partial collapse of your lung, pneumonia, or just a strain of your chest.  Should probably see your doc and discuss - consider CXR.

Question 6

i have a collapsed lung and everytime i sneeze i feel that my chest hurts?

Accepted Answer

Be re evaluated: You did not say what caused your collapsed lung. But whether it was trauma or spontaneous if you sneeze or cough or bear down it can make the collapse worse. This can  cause increased pain or difficulty breathing. Follow up with your doctor to make sure the pneumothorax hasnt increased in size.

Question 7

my dr says my chest, heart & lungs r fine. but my chest is sore & hurts to cough or sneeze. i can't explain the pressure either please help;(?

Accepted Answer

Costochondritis.: If it feels like the pain is in the chest wall or hurts when you push on it or take a deep breath it is very likely to be a musculoskeletal problem.  Your doc probably had a good reason for saying what they did.  If you continue to have doubts you should see another provider for a second opinion.
