When I cough hard I get intense pain into chest , down arms and even up into the jaw muscles. I think I must be compressing nerves somehow. I can t get mucous out as it hurts. Should I be concerned? It has happened before but I have no problems other than coughing or sneezing . I m just frustrated as the aching down arms and into the jaw lasts longer now
Hello...coughing and sneezing over a period of time may lead to chest pain due to muscular strain... Take a syrup containing bucolic agent like Aerosol/bromine which will break the thick mucus and facilitate its expulsion...BUT my sincere advise to you would be to visit a physician and get yourself examined and investigated since your chest pain is radiating down the arms as well as jaws which is unusual in muscle strain and is more indicative of cardiac pathology... so better get yourself examined and investigated...take care...
