I Had No Idea,

that eating spicy food could break your ribs!

but it can and in fact did, the lady surnamed Huang, told doctors in her native city of Shanghai that she was eating spicy food which caused her to start coughing, during which the young woman allegedly heard a sharp crack from her chest area, and immediately began to experience pain when breathing and trying to speak, “At first, I thought it was a stroke or something, I didn’t expect it to hurt this badly,” Huang said. “I couldn’t even walk.” Ms. Huang managed to get to a local hospital, where a CT scan revealed that she had four fractured ribs. After hearing the woman’s story about her coughing, doctors conducted a bone density test that came out normal. Upon examining the woman and conducting more tests, a thoracic surgeon concluded that the bone fractures had been caused by her poor musculature, “Your ribs can be seen clearly under your skin. There is no muscle to support the bone, so it’s easy for your ribs to get fractured when coughing,” the doctor reportedly told Huang, where the original story is, adding that unless she does something about it, she is likely to suffer similar fractures in the future, Ms. Huang said that she stands 171cm tall and weighs 51kg, but admitted to having an extremely thin upper body, She now needs to rest and spend a month with a medicinal corset wrapped around her torso, spicy food + cough = broken ribs, who would have thought it?
