The woman’s ribs were broken after she coughed after eating spicy food. The incident took place in Shanghai, China. Shuang’s four ribs were broken by coughing. They heard a sound from their chest while coughing but they didn’t feel that anything happened. But after a few days, he felt a slight pain in his chest while breathing and speaking.
When the pain did not subside, he saw a doctor. When the CT scan was taken, it was found that the woman’s ribs were broken. Then the doctor prescribed one month of complete rest. Doctors said it was due to low weight.
Doctors said the skin on Huang’s chest was not strong enough to support the ribs. Because there are no muscles to support the bones, they are prone to injury. Huang stated that he is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 57 kilograms, but he is overweight towards the upper body. Huang also said that he will do more exercise to make his muscles stronger.
