Woke up this morning with a non productive cough and just below my ribs on both sides hurt when i cough. is that anything to be concerned about?

Mgt: If the pain only occurs with a cough, most likely the pain is caused by muscular-skeletal pain. I would suggest a heating pad and Motrin. If it continues, or is associated with respiratory difficulty, a follow up appt is indicated.

See a doctor: cxr would be a good start to get at a diagnosis, in addition to other tests that may be warranted depending on your history
