Defying good sense, I went for a run while nursing a cough. Not too long into the run, I was already trying to catch my breath while stiffing the reflexive throaty cough. Like most people, I was not adept taking in sucking in deep breathes into the rib cavity while trying to squeeze the trachea shut to hold the cough in. A terrible ending quickly ensued as my intercostal muscles worked out of tandem. My abdominal muscles went into a quick contraction like as if it was being sucked in to fill the space of the lungs. As quickly as it came, the pain was gone in a second.
i stopped and walked back home.
