I've been having this strange feeling like I need to cough, but nothing really comes out. Sometimes it's like there's this jelly-like substance when I do manage to cough. Plus, my neck and back have been hurting on and off. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing these symptoms?

View allI'm experiencing some discomfort and pain on the left side of my rib and chest area, especially when I take a deep breath. It also gets worse if I sleep on my left side. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?
It sounds like you might be experiencing muscle strain, inflammation, or possibly something related to your ribs or lungs. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues like a rib injury or respiratory concerns.

I've been having a hard time taking a deep breath for the last 8 months. I can manage normal, short breaths, but I constantly feel the need to take a deep breath, and when I do, it just doesn't feel right. There's no fever, cough, or wheezing, but sometimes when I do cough, a tiny bit of clear, colorless mucus comes out. My X-ray came back normal, but I'm worried it might be COPD. I've never smoked, but I have been around secondhand smoke now and then. I'm still able to skip rope for about 4 minutes without stopping, and my SpO2 levels average around 98. Could you help me understand what's going on?
normal according to history, stop worrying

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 59 and has been dealing with this intense pain in her inner ribs. The doctor we saw recommended an X-ray, and the results showed something like inhomogeneous opacity in both upper zones and something called febrocity. Can you help me understand what all of this means? Is it something serious?
go for test
