Hi,
The coccyx pain is not related to your lung condition. The pain in the coccyx might be due to a separate entity called coccyalgia.
As the first line of management, you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
