What Causes Severe Coughs During Bronchitis?
i am a 34 year old female. Weigh 135 lbs. About 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with Bronchitis and Laryngitis. I have ridiculous coughing attacks where my throat closes up and my eyes water and I'm gasping for air. It wakes me up in a dead sleep. Also I think I may have pulled or done something to my back. The pain is not in 1 general area it actually seems to move from side to side. I have coughed just the slightest and felt a "pop" in my back twice now. Now when I lay on my back it hurts and to take a deep breath while on my back it feels as if I have a ton of bricks on my chest. It hurts to sleep. Should I return to the doctor? Or is this normal.

These symptoms suggest that you have not yet fully recovered from bronchitis. The types of pain over back you have described, with cough looks like they are some sort of muscular cramps of back muscle, induced due to forceful, coughing maneuver. But when the cough is really disturbing your sleep, then its always the right approach to visit a doctor
