i don`t know if this is the correct section to be writing this but i`m going to give it a go regardless. i currently have the flu and yesterday i was coughing quite a bit. i ended up getting horrible sharp chest pains. heart problems run in my family and i have asthma and a heart murmur. i`m 17 yrs old and i`m not overweight (i`m underweight if anything..) and since nobody was home and my throat hurt too much to talk (to call my mom on the phone) i took 2 asprins and the pain eventually stopped. could i have a serious problem or does anyone think that these pains were brought upon by all the coughing i was doing? thanks
