having trouble breathing.

what would make me cough so heavy when I tried to take in a deep breathe.  I have been sick for about 10days...I thought it was sinuses. The I started getting this kind of a bark cough, to where it hurts in my lower left side  back & into the pelvis/groin area. All the way across.  Like I said I just cannot, take a deep breathe, without it causing me to going into aback coughing spell, sometimes for 1 min. at a time. Please advise...Thank you Karen

Karen - I've been sick before with coughs so bad that the tension (notice how people lean forward towards fetal position when coughing real bad?) hurts all the way down my body.  It sounds like you have some type of a respiratory infection to the extent the cough is brutally painful - I'd go to a doctor - get yourself fixed up and keep it from turning into an even more serious infection.
