<s>[INST] I am having pain in my chest area when I cough and sometimes a sharp pain even when not coughing. This has been going on for two days. The cough may be allergies but the pain may be related to the fact that I have started working out, lifting weights for about a week. Maybe a strain in the stomach muscle?
