My chest hurts, i have shortness of breath, and can't quit coughing. is this a common cold, or is something else wrong?

Cough/sob: When you have repeated bouts of cough you could get chest pain. However cough with shortness of breath and chest pain , you need to rule out pneumonia. If negative it is simply an upper respiratory tract infection. You need physical examination and testing. Consult an md.
