A member asked:
When i cough or take a deep breathe i get a pain in my left side below my rib cage what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest pain...: This could be a musculoskeletal pain that happens after a workout or a sudden movement . If this is associated with a cough, shortness of breath or fever, i would recommend having a chest xray to exclude some lung diseases like pneumonia, pleural effusion...Etc.
