I have been having prolonged right rib cage soreness, noticed slight shortness of breath...what could be going on?

Let me explain: Have you developed other unusual and or persistent symptoms do you have a chronic wheeze or cough are you tired all the time do you look pale these two together are a red flag do you have a dry painful cough and your shortness of breath gets worse when you exercise are your feet and ankles swollen and is it harder to breathe when you lie down flat if you do check with your doctor if not write.
