Woman coughed so hard she ‘broken’ inside; she was treated in an emergency

Coughing can be so annoying for some people that they feel chest tightness or a sore throat from exertion. But this does not compare with what a woman of Chinese origin named Huang experienced, who after coughing heavily, had to be rushed to the hospital.

The doctors were surprised with what a simple cough had caused inside his body. His case reached social networks, surprising thousands of Internet users.

According to the newspaper South China Morning Post, Huang reportedly ate too much spicy food, which caused him to cough intensely, making it difficult for him to breathe and speak.

Huang was immediately taken to the hospital, where she underwent a chest X-ray that surprised her doctor as she had four broken ribs.

The doctor explained that Huang’s ribs fractured due to the pressure exerted by coughing and her low weight, as she is 1.71 meters tall and weighs only 57 kilograms, leaving her ribs highly exposed to damage.

His ribs can be clearly seen under his skin. There is no muscle to support the bone, so it is easy for your ribs to fracture when you cough.

Huang will have to spend more than a month at rest, with bandages and medical treatment to help his recovery. In addition, she was given instructions to change her diet and increase her muscle mass.
