Sharp pain in upper left chest

2019-04-24 14:28:29
I sneezed during a flight today and ever since that I've been noticing a sharp pain on the upper left side of my chest. The pain does not increase when I take a deep breath but when I cough or sneeze the pain is there in one area. Is it a muscle strain that will go away or has it caused any damage or hurt my lung?
