Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Left sided chest pain in patient with diabetes and hypothyroidism should be evaluated for heart diseases. So first get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test. If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Musculoskeletal pain can be the cause because you are having pain on rib cage movement (coughing, sneezing). So apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  Take antihistamine for sneezing and coughing. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
