Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough And Pain In The Breast

I already did but I will ask again. I recently developed a cough and am now experiencing sharp pain beneath my left breast. I had a chest x-ray about a month ago which came up negative. I am a 51 year old female who has asthma, sleep apnea and am a former cigarette smoker. What is going on?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I think you probably are having bronchitis.
It would be good idea to repeat the X-ray you did. Also, you may need to do a spirometry since it can be chronic bronchitis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
