I was wondering why I have discomfort in my lungs?  It is a dull achy pain and I tend to have an annoying cough.  I had a really bad allergic reaction years ago that affected my lungs for 9 months.  Do you think that couldve damaged my lungs?  I am a healthy fit woman of 51 yrs old.
Thanks for your question completely understand your question dull achy pain in chest /lungs can be due to variety of diseases like pleural effusion, pneumonia etc in your case it seems like old healed infection, as you said you had some lung infection few yrs backchat old infection can cause fibrosis in due course of time AMD that might be causing the pain. You need to consult a pulmonologist who can request for a chest X-ray and rule out other causes and mentioned above and lead to a certain diagnosisthanksfeel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
