I have had a cough for a couple of weeks that produced thick, yellow, and sometimes even chunky sputum. It has gotten better slowly, but since yesterday I have experienced severe pain in my breasts, mostly the right one, when I cough or sneeze. It feels deep, but the pain is definitely in my breast tissue. I am 45, in menopause, and 3 months ago was put on hormone replacement therapy. Do you think this is hormonal or is this respiratory or chest muscle wall related?
