I ve had this cough that has been getting worse the last few days. I also have a slight temp. Today the inside of my chest started to hurt and itch. It s very uncomfortable and very scary since I m not sure what s going on. My blood pressure and pulse rate are ok. Can you help me and tell me what could be wrong?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Fever, chest pain, cough etc are seen in lung infection (pneumonia ) and bronchitis.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
If all the above are normal than no need to worry. It will be upper respiratory tract infection only.
So drink plenty of fluids and avoid oil and spicy food.
