TIFU By having hiccups and sneezing.

r/

Yesterday was a normal, i was enjoying time off from work enjoying one of my many hobbies, when suddenly, hiccups!

1 hiccup, I excused myself to my girlfriendand continued on. About a minute later, another hiccup.

But this was no ordinary hiccup. If that was the case I wouldn’t be in this situation right now. No, this hiccup was the mother of all hiccups. This hiccup hit hard, such force that I practically lept a foot in the air. And as my body shifted in time with this hiccup from hell, I felt something in my chest give.

Yes dear reader, I hiccupped so hard, I pulled a muscle, what muscle I do not know, but for the rest of the day if turned in specific way, I had a dull pain in the right side of my chest.

Fastforward to the next day, I wake up fine, mostly, I turn over and I feel it, that dull pain again. So I carefully get out of bed and get ready to work.

Now I deliver mail for a living and thankfully today was a slow day so I was out and in within the hour.

Hooray the danger had passed, no more risk of aggrivating my injury. Or so I thought. You see, I suffer from hayfever. So on a lovely warm day like this, I’m prone to sneezing fits. I do have medication for this, but dostracted by my hiccup induced ailment, I forgot to take them.

So there I am, watching the F1 75th birthday stream, live. When suddenly, I feel it, I begin to dread it. My nose itches, then it tingles. ACHOOO!

OUCH!!!!

Yes, you guessed right, that one singular sneezed aggrivated my injury tenfold. So now I am here, sitting in my bed, because laying down hurts like a Samual L Jackson’s favourite curse, telling you all how I became bedridden from 2 hiccups and a sneeze.

My back hurts, because the only way the pain stops, is when I hunch forward like a kid leaning into their computer screen like it’ll increased their K/D.

TL;DR: I pulled a muscle with a hiccup and a day later aggrivated it to an agonising degree by sneezing.

    Try pouring a glass of water , then take 2-3 napkins and put over the top of glass and drink the water through the napkins, works for me everytime ,

    Ive gotten an abdominal strain from sneezing too hard. Shit sucks. Hopefully it’s just a mild strain and not real bad. Hurts like a bitch though. Hope u start feeling better soon man! 🙏

    I sprained a rib once when sick it’s terrible chesty cough. Excruciating for weeks and just didn’t heal. I went to a chiropractor and got put back in place, healed fine after that. It was horrendous until that though, couldn’t roll over in bed or get up without agony. Couldn’t breathe even without pain. Good luck for your recovery, I hope it’s faster than mine.
