I've been having some issues with my breathing, and it feels like I'm choking when I cough. This has been going on for the past week. Before this, I'd been dealing with a cough for about 10 days. I'm taking medication prescribed by my doctor, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What could be going on, and should I be doing something different to get relief?

I've been having this nagging cough for a few days now, and it's not really getting better. It feels like I'm trying really hard to bring something up, but nothing's coming out. Plus, there's this chest pain that kicks in every time I cough or even when I move my hands. Its making me a bit worried. What could be going on here, and should I be doing anything specific about it?
