I've started a new thread as this issue is nothing to do with previous posts. I always have a cough which is a side effect
of my glaucoma drops. The information sheet lists it as a rare side effect, I have disussed it with the hospital and they agree. I've had this for 9 years and don't usually worry.
A few days ago I had a very bad coughing session which lasted half an hour (sometimes they do) the next day I had a bad pain in my chest on the right side and thouht it was pulled muscles from all this violent coughing. I've had it a few days now with it going through to the back too.
However today the pain is a lot worse and is also in my right shoulder and the top of my arm. It doesn't hurt a lot if I sit still but if I cough it is very bad and when I breath deeply it is also very bad. When I move it really hurts and if I lift my arm it does also.
Could this be muscles or is something else going on? Of course google says yes it's a number of terrible diseases. I could see the doctor no doubt, but I worry about that owing to covid. I don't go out if I can help it and when I do I am anxious afterwards in case I have caught it. Now the restrctions are lifted I feel very vunerable. I daren't go on public transport and have to rely on my son to give me a lift when he is available. I am double jabbed but I am elderly and have been reading recently that the vaccines wear off after about three months and the protection is very low.
Has anyone had this type of pain caused by coughing? I am getting very worried now as the pain is so bad today.
