I've been dealing with a cough for more than a week now and just started having this mild, annoying chest pain since last night. There's also phlegm. Should I be concerned, or is this something that'll pass on its own?

I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea but I'm not keen on using a CPAP machine or surgery. Are there other ways to treat it naturally or with lifestyle changes? What options have worked for others?
