A member asked:

Shortness of breath and chest pain and chest pressure, an awful cough, headache after a cold that started a week ago, fevers and chills. why?

Pneumonia PLUS: Please get checked at the ER NOW- this certainly sounds like pneumonia with pleuritis ( pleurisy )- and can be quite serious. This will require aggressive antibiotic therapy.
