| Re: Back pain with asthma?
Two things I've noticed...when my asthma acts up, I do get some amount of pain in my upper back, and if I have strained the muscles in my back it affects my breathing. (Catch 22?) I know that there have been several times that I've strained the muscles just by coughing too hard, and then for several days I can't take a full breath without a good bit of pain, and at some point I just start automatically taking shorter breaths to avoid the pain, without even thinking about it. Have you recently (past week) had any bad coughing spells, even if they seemed fairly short? A hard cough, even of short duration, can put unusual strain on muscles in your back, side, and chest...
