A member asked:

Hi i am 32 weeks pregnant and every time i breath heavy cough or sneeze my chest hurts around my rib area on the front and back what can this be?

Fever?: Assuming you have no fever, it's most likely just sore muscles from cough and deep breath. Alternatively, it can be pleurisy - a viral infection of the lining of the lungs which is self-limiting. If you have fever, you should be evaluated.
