asked

I had a cold or the flu since Friday, and on Monday, I started experiencing sharp chest pains. The pain went away after applying heat to my sternum, but I'm concerned about potential internal injury if I cough too hard. I'm 30 years old, former athletic, and most of the pain is gone, but I still feel like I have 'junk' in my chest from the cold. What could be causing the chest pain, and is there any danger or should I just treat it as sore muscles?
