A member asked:

What to do if i continue getting a pain in the center of my chest when i breath, cough or sneeze or increase in heart rate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Symptom: See your Doc and get checked out there are conditions like pericarditis and pleuritis that could possibly explain your symptoms. Costochondritis or other chest wall inflammation could also explain some of the symptoms.
