I have an extremely sharp pain in my right side of my rib cage around my bra line and am coughing up white, metallic tasting phlegm. The pain feels like a pinched nerve in between my ribs and is debilitating...the cough only makes it hurt worse...any clue?
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. If the chest pain is disturbing your routine activity then get a chest x ray done to rule out any lung infection or it could be just a muscle pull. Do not lift heavy weights. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
