What Causes Chest Pain With Cold?

When I got up this morning my chest hurt when I moved. Just sitting I have no discomfort - it is just when I get up out of chair or bend over. Should I be concerned? I am a 60 year old female - I had a cold last week but feel much better now - but have had a cough for about a week but nothing that would cause chest soreness.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because your chest pain is associated with movements.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid forward bending and sudden jerky movements of chest.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
4. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
5. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2-3 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
