I have had a cold for 6 days now, but yesterday I sneezed close to 60 times. As the day wore on, my upper chest and sternum area became quite sore and feels like i have pulled a muscle. If I sneeze, cough slightly or more my arms in a certain way, it is now very painful. It does not hurt to breathe or when I m still. So I guess my question is, is it possible to strain or pull muscles from multiple sneezes?
