Heart or Lung?: While chest pain is often associated with heart problems, pain in the chest could be caused by musculoskeletal problems, lung conditions, or traumatic rib injuries. The location, nature, or the intensity of pain could provide valuable information that may assist the doctors to zero in on the underlying cause.Chest xray and sputum (mucus) test may be needed since you have been suffering since mths.
