I've had some cold symptoms like fever, sweats, chills, and a cough. Most of them have gone away, but my cough and chest pain are still there. The chest pain is only on one side and it feels like a burning sensation. Should I be worried about this?

View allI'm experiencing this pain in my upper chest, especially when I breathe deeply, cough, sneeze, or laugh, but I don't have a fever. However, I've got this dry cough going on. This has been happening for about a week and a half now. I'm a regular smoker, maybe around 3 to 4 cigarettes a day. Could this be something serious, or is it linked to my smoking habits? What should I do?
The pain you're experiencing in the upper chest, especially while breathing heavily, coughing, sneezing, or laughing, could be due to inflammation or irritation of the muscles or tissues around the chest, often linked to a respiratory condition. The dry cough and your smoking habit may also contribute to this discomfort. It's important to monitor your symptoms, and I recommend consulting a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm experiencing some pain near my ribs when I breathe in and I also feel short of breath after climbing stairs. I went to a cardiologist and all the tests came back normal, so they recommended I see an orthopaedist. Should I go to a pulmonologist instead to get this checked out?

I've been dealing with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and lately, I've noticed some changes. My oxygen level sticks around 96-98, which is pretty normal for me, but a month ago, I got hit with COVID. During that time, I was mostly coughing with phlegm and felt really tired, but not much else. Now that I've recovered from COVID, I'm still feeling really worn out. I'm having a dry cough about 6-7 times a day, which never happened to me before, and my chest hurts a bit when I yawn. Plus, I've started feeling a bit of difficulty in breathing that lasts for 3-5 seconds. I used to be perfectly fine before all this. Any idea what's going on?
Do chest x ray and review for further and aslo start regular exercises
