What Causes Tiredness And Pain In Right Side Of Chest?

I have a dull pain in my right chest that keeps me from taking a deep breath. I have no appetite and get very tired quickly. I am 67, male, and am a smoker. When I lie on my left side, the pain subsides. I have also been coughing up some phlem, and sometimes there is small amounts of blood.
