What Causes Solar Plexus Discomfort, Cough And Phlegm?
I have had a minor heart attack and I have discomfort in solar plexus region. The discomfort is not similar to when I had the heart attack. When this discomfort was previously reported, my cardiac condition was confirmed as ok. I am a smoker and I am constantly trying to quit. I have reduced drastically, but I am struggling with cough and flem even though I have curtailed my smoking significantly.

hi,
quitting smoke doesnt give you immediate results and also depends on how much damage it caused to your body..it takes around a month for cough to start resolving. if it doesnt resolve may be u have some infection or something which needs to be treated.
if the pain has been evaluated by a doctor you need not worry..if it still bothers then visit your doctor for help
