Chest Pains On Sneezing, Coughing Post Punch In The Chest. Addicted To Marijuana, Smoking. Root Cause?
Hi, so 4 days ago my girlfriend and i got into a little fight and she just started punching me in my chest one after another this happened around 11am. i started work at 2 and still had no pains until maybe 7 or 8pm. im guessing its from all the movement from work. i also smoke marijuana for seizures and also cigarettes (i know thats bad for me) and every time i would cough, clear my throat, sneeze, or even try to get out of bed it would get more and more sore every time........ so my question is did i bruise my left lung, is it soft tissue damage, or could it be getting more worse since im still smoking???????????

if you had bo problem and this problem of pain started after punch this may be due to soft tissue swelling
and when here is swelling in soft tissue during cough there is more pain due to irritation
you can take singular 10 mg bd
apply analgesic gel over the area of punch
syp toosex 1/2 tsf night
try to avoid hard work may take 3 wk
