Bad cough and severe chest pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time to see doctor: A person in her 20's with "bad cough" and "severe chest pain" should see the doctor right away. If her own doctor is not immediately available for help, the wisest thing to do is call 911. The paramedics have oxygen, medications, and can do an EKG. The ER doctor can evaluate for lung and heart problems. Even if it is not a heart problem, the ER usually can provide diagnosis and treatment.
