it all started about 4 weeks ago when I felt pain between my top two ribs on the left side.  If I pressed between the ribs I felt the pain.  It also occurred when I coughed or took a deep breath.  This made it difficult to breath.  It go especially worse when running but not when I biked.  This lasted about two weeks and went away by taking Advil.

Right after this went away I have been have random tightness of chest, both sides of chest. A dry cough and lots of mucus.  No real breathing issues,  this flares up when running but is not an issue when biking.  Feels like a squeezing inside my chest.

i bike 30-40 miles at a time and run about 5.

Panty thoughts on what this is?

    Hi,

    These sound like two different problems, the first sounds like a simple muscular injury.

    If you are still suffering with the second you may want to see a GP, it could be asthma, or other lung problems, depending on your age. 

    Best wishes,

    J
