What Causes Left-sided Pain In The Back?

I have been having mid left back pain (it is sharp, not very constant, it gets worse when I take deep breaths in), cough, sore throat, runny nose, tight feeling in my chest, and a feeling like I am not getting enough air in my lungs. I am unsure if I should go to a doctor, or if it is not severe enough to need to seek urgent medical care.

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern.

Left back pain can be due to a slipped disc or fibromyositis of the back muscles due to a strain.

Runny nose and sore throat may be causing shortness of breath and tightness in chest.

I would suggest you to consult a physician and start on appropriate medicines.

Deep breathing exercises will definitely help.

Hope your query has been answered
