I've been experiencing some chest pain for the past few days. It moves around - sometimes on the left side, other times on the right. I'm not sure if it's muscular pain or something related to my chest rib cage. I dont have any issues with breathing and there's no cough either. I've tried deep breathing to see if there's any discomfort, but it doesnt hurt when I do that. I had a chest X-ray just last month and everything looked fine. I do have a deficiency in Vitamin D and B12. Could this be related? What's your take on this?

I've been experiencing some discomfort with a slight pain in my left rib area, and lately, I've started feeling cold and have a light cough with some mucus. I think the rib pain might be caused by my posture since I've been spending a lot of time working on my laptop. Could you offer some advice on what steps I should take to feel better?

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
