What Causes Chest Pain Along With Cough And Pressure In The Chest?

I have been having chest pain problems for a while now, and the doctor said it was costochondritis after a bunch of tests. But now Im coughing a bunch with a bunch of mucus, and very tight painful pressure on my chest, similar feeling to a muscle cramp. Am I just sick, or are these related?

You are having mucus expectoration as per history

So now your further work up needed in form of Auscultation first and chest X-ray. If bronchitis picture present in X-ray and Auscultation than antibiotic course and decongestant can be prescribed

Decongestant like Levocetrizine can be taken just now

Take vitamin C lozenges as well

Drink more water

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
