Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your query I will like to tell you that since you had a lot of cough which continued for 1 week there is a possibilty that you could be having pneumonia and while coughing you may experience a sharp pain that is called pleurisy .which a person will experience ,every time he coughs .
Tearing a stomach muscle does not seem to be a possibilty to me.But still if you are worried a USG abdomen will be highly advisable .
Take care.
