Exam needed: Discomfort in the chest and rib cage along with shortness of breath require evaluation. Typical symptoms of pneumonia include pleurisy(Sharp pain on inspiration), cough, fever, chills and sweats. Shortness of breath may occur. Your symptoms are nonspecific at this time, but I recommend an evaluation by a physician who will order the appropriate tests for diagnosis and proper treatment.
