I've been having some uncomfortable breathing when I sleep. It feels like theres something blocking my throat, and it's really hard to breathe when I'm lying down. What could be causing this?

Why am I still feeling this pain? I had a pleural effusion back in November 2017, and had thoracentesis done twice. All the tests came back negative and my doctor said it was viral. Now it's March 2018, and I'm still experiencing pain starting from my back moving up to my side and into my chest, especially when I cough, yawn, or take a deep breath. I'm really worried about why it's not getting better. Any ideas?

I've been having this recurring discomfort in the upper left side of my chest for about 45 days now. It all started after I went for a run, breathing through my mouth in the cold weather, and I felt like I'd somehow injured the tissues on that side of my chest from the pressure. The discomfort seems to come and go, sometimes with clear mucus when I cough. I did have a bout of cough and cold about a month ago, and since then, the discomfort seems to be happening more often. I've already seen a general physician who said not to worry and gave me some meds, but they haven't really helped. There's no history of heart issues or high blood pressure in my family. What do you think could be going on?
