What Causes Breathing Difficulty And Sore Chest While Coughing?
I was coughing very hard because of a peanut I swallowed "went down the wrong pipe". My chest was VERY sore - sharp scratchy pains when I coughed. I have had pleurisy before. I also tend to have diffiulty breathing after jogging for two minutes. Is there something you can identify now as a problem?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The coughing can cause strain of the muscles in the chest wall which can cause pain.
The shortness of breath on activity may be related to the heart, lungs or due to systemic problems such as anemia.
It may be best to see your doctor for an evaluation which would include blood tests, imaging and ECG.
I hope this helps
