Coughing when bending over

[rich p]

For instance when I bend to do my shoelaces up. I have begun hving a cough, and occasionally a retch. Someone suggested a hiatus hernia as a possibility.
Any ideas?

I think you know the answer you are going to get.

DR's apt.

[jefmcg]

I'm not going to tell my friends horror story, just go see a doctor

 

[screenman]

I hope that is where he is now, or at least making an appointment.

From the thread title I'd thought you may have already been to the doctor - or one of those "clubs" that you frequent

 

[Ganymede]

To the Doctor, sir.

Had that problem many years ago when doing my army medical. Difference was a doctor was holding something in this hands at the time. Went something like this " ok mr wam68 I want you to bend over and cough "

If you're asking whether a cycling injury can cause such symptoms, then yes, it's possible you've done yourself a mischief on the bike, get to the Doctor, and find out what's up.

 

[Crackle]

Don't bend over and get slip on shoes.

Cheers for the doctor's heads up. That hadn't occurred to me

This is the sort of time when my id pops up old-fashioned sexist generalisations, which I know are bad. I'm sure there are plenty of women who get something wrong with them and don't think of going to the doctor either...

Aye, me
But I would never think of asking CC about it either
