Experiencing Tightening Of Stomach Muscles And Contraction During Cough. How To Diagnose My Symptoms?

For the past few weeks, I have been experiencing my stomach muscles tighten and contract when I cough. It tightens so bad that it usually leaves me slumped over and in that moment there is no better feeling in the world, than when it contracts and loosen up. It last for about 30 seconds to a minute. It happened roughly 8 times.. Any advice?

your stomach muscles tighten and contract when cough. these is a normal phenomena as coughing is done during expiration of respiration and coughing is forcefull expiration with a sound due to inflamed larynx where ascessary muscles of respiration are involved. abdominal muscles are ascessary muscles of respiration. they contract during coughing (when during forceful coughing) and sudden contraction causes pain . once coughing over it relaxes and so loosen up.
so take proper treatment for cough like Ascoril D 10 ml tid then cough reduces and so your stomach contraction pain.
