hey everyoneok this is weird. Whenever i sneeze it feels like i just took a blow to the ribs, actually the pain feels like its coming from under the ribs its weird. I really hate sneezing because of this so i try my best to avoid things that would make me sneeze. But whenever i do sneeze it would feel like someone just punched me in the ribs and I'd be in pain for a few mins. Then after the pain Im completely fine again. Does anyone know what would cause something like this?
-
Pain from sneezing?
-
I don't know what it is, but I think it definitely needs a doctor to look at it. Perhaps it's a hernia?
-
Pneumonia? Some other lung infection?
-
isnt pneumonia fatal? i've had it for a few years now...is that possible?
-
hernia? i thought that would be lower like by my crotch?

Pneumonia is not rabies. It's occasionally fatal, an the flu is. But you can get antibiotics to treat pneumonia caused by bacteria (it can be caused by a variety of things).If you've had the same pain for years, then it's not from pneumonia. But it definitely sounds like something worthy of a consultation with your doctor.

A hernia is when any organ pushes through whatever normally contains it. A hernia in the crotch area is just one example. For instance, your stomach can push up into the chest. That's also a type of hernia.

yea I've only heard of it pushing through the crotch. I had no idea it could push up through the chest. But wouldnt it be visible then?
-
Not necessarily. I was describing a hiatus hernia, which is a "hernia resulting from the protrusion of part of the stomach through the diaphragm". It's all inside.If something causes the brain to swell, it can herniate by partially pushing through the base of the skull. Among other things, that can be caused by massive overhydration, where electrolytes become very diluted.

wow this is getting complicated lolwell I guess no one has ever heard of my symptoms then?
