Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Everytime I sneeze, my sternum snaps and whatever is directly behind it and the bone itself is in extreme pain.. The pain lasts for about 5 minutes then eases. I also feel it when i press my palms together to use my chest muscle or lay down on the floor and try to lift my head up. I brought it to my chiropractors attention and nothing helped. It will be almost a year since this "sneezing pain" started. Iam a 37 yr old female with a farming/ranching occupation.
HI Well come to HCM Could be muscular spasm and this is very common phenomenon during sneezing and this is happening due to jerk exerted during sneezing and this might have cause the spasm of muscles, take care while sneeze, to relieve the spasm you can try Tab Chlorzoxazone as per needed, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
