What Causes Cough And Bruise On Chest Along With Dizziness?

Hi, I developed a bruise on my chest this morning (centered basically where a necklace would hang), and I've been coughing a fair bit today. I figured the cough was from allergies, but now I'm starting to feel a bit dizzy. Are these symptoms related? Should I go and see a doctor, or am I being a hypochrondriac?

Hello dear,
Thank you for your question.

Bruises usually come from local trauma whereas hives (urticaria) are the main manifestation of allergy. And usually allergic skin manifestations are numerous in different parts of the body. So your bruise doesn't seem connected with the other symptoms.
Cough can come from different causes including: allergic, infective etc. You need to check it with your doctor, in case it persists.
The dizziness you have been experiencing, needs attention especially in presence of other symptoms or when you have had it for more than a couple of days. In your case dizziness and cough might come from a simple viral infection that can pass in a few days.

I hope this helped.
Best wishes,
Dr. Alma
