Can a cold give you chest pains/back pains on the left side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pains in chest: A upper respiratory infection can give you chest pains, especially if you are coughing. However, if you develop shortness of breath, diaphoresis or lightheadedness then you should see your doctor or go to the nearest emergency room.
