I am a 37 year old woman. I am a smoker (just started again about 6 weeks ago after quitting for 6 months). I have had some awful pains in my left side rib/lung area. I am fine when I first wake up in the morning but once I get up and start moving around I start coughing (not a whole lot) and the pain starts and lasts all day. I am a little short of breath and have some discomfort in my chest sometimes but my main concern is the pain in my side. Can anyone make a suggestion on what it might me?
