Why does it still hurt when I move around my chest when I stop coughing?

If you don’t cough anymore, but still have pain when you move around your chest, it may be related to muscle injury, pleurisy, gastrointestinal diseases, intercostal neuralgia and so on. 1. Muscle injury: If you have repeated violent coughing before, it may lead to intercostal muscle strain or muscle sprain, etc., and myositis causing chest pain. The muscle injury may not have fully recovered by the time the coughing stops. 2. Pleurisy: When a patient with pleurisy takes a deep breath, it causes the wall pleura and the dirty pleura to rub together, stimulating the receptors on the pleura and causing pain. The way to stop pain is to actively treat the primary disease causing pleurisy, such as actively fighting infection. 3. Gastrointestinal diseases: such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), in which gastric contents reflux into the esophagus leading to esophagitis, causing heartburn-like chest pain, which can be treated with medicines such as omeprazole and domperidone tablets. 4. Intercostal neuralgia: mainly manifested as pain in the chest between the ribs, the pain is more intense, and the pain is often limited to one side of the body. It is necessary to clarify the cause of the disease and treat the original disease. If it is caused by herpes zoster, it can be actively anti-viral treatment. Chest pain without coughing can also be caused by other diseases, if the symptoms are not relieved or aggravated, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time for further examination, to clarify the cause of the disease, and for the cause of the treatment.
