Ribs are sore: Would consider costrochondritis, whic responds to motrin like drugs if not allergic, or infection-though usually have other symptoms , alternatively may be gallbladder if on right, or if on birth control pils may be clot .Due to risks associated wiht clot woudl seek medical attention ER/ urgent care today

I have cold for a week now; sore throat and congestion gone. No coughing/mucous. I feel very weak and chest tightness, as i feel the need to focus on taking a deep breath. Is the tightness a concern being that it came after the cold/towards end?
