I had bronchitis for a few weeks, maybe about a month. Now I have this shooting pain that keeps happening in my ribs. Especially when I laugh, sneeze or cough. Has anyone ever had this happen? I've been experiencing this symptom for a week now - I am thinking to go to urgent care after work today and get it checked out.

You probably need an x-ray. I experienced the same thing, the pain stopped me in my tracks. An x-ray determined I had pleurisy, an infection of the lung lining. Also, if you were coughing really hard, you could have cracked a rib. Best to get to a DR and check it out.1

Go to the doctor. It could be nothing, it could be serious. We can't tell you much more than that.0

Hi, I agree with the others that you should be checked out. My experience with what you are saying is Pleurisy. I used to get pneumonia and bronchitis seasonally for years and I suffered from Pleurisy as well. I'm not sure they are related.0
