Is having a sharp pain in my lower stomach when I cough serious?!
Question: I was driving home a couple nights ago and a sharp pain struck in my lower stomach. It lasted a couple minutes and finally went away. Or so I thought. Now when I cough it really really hurts. It's a pretty sharp pain in the middle of my lower stomach.
*The pain a couple nights ago was not gas. I would be able to recognize it if it were.
*I did work out for the first time in a couple weeks the day before the pain hit in my car, but it doesn't seem to be that kind of pain. Plus, it's odd that it's only when I cough or take a deep breath.
