COPD itself doesn't cause chest pain. Lots of other things do, including pleurisy, pleural effusions, coughing, pulled muscles, broken ribs and any of those can be in conjunction with COPD.

A barrel chest is associated with especially elongated and expanded lungs and sometimes is developed by people who have COPD.

I sometimes get pains only on my right side so yes I know I have been worried about having a heart attack sometimes but if I take my meds it helps a lot. Am taking Advair and if I remember to take it every day I do just fine

Hi Patty, That elephant commercial makes some people laugh but, we know it's not funny. I get them all the time up or down
