Watch out while coughing it might actually break your RIB!

Laughing so hard your sides split is one thing, but one woman actually coughed so hard she broke a rib. When the 66 year old woman, who has not been named in a case study published, first went to see her doctor, it was thought she had flu did nothing to ease her symptoms.

When she went back to the doctor five days later, she had a large dark mark on the right side of her torso. The woman underwent a CT SCAN  that revealed she had a displaced fracture of her ninth rib the rib had broken and the two ends had separated.

The tests confirmed she had an infection with Bordetella pertussis, which causes whooping cough. Whooping cough is rarely serious in adults, but can lead to rib fractures in serious manifestations.

Even without whooping cough, when one has severe bouts of cough, one can fracture their rib, as a person close to me had this problem. So, kindly take precautions when your cough gets bad.
