Today, I fractured two ribs from coughing. My doctor told me to stop coughing, or I would fracture them more. I have bronchitis. FML

No one fractured ribs from coughing. Did you punch yourself while coughing?

#62- you can fracture a rib from coughing. Google/Bing/Yahoo/Ask it, and it'll say that you can fracture a rib from coughing.

That is tough that is like telling you don't breathe. I can relate had bronchitis before it sucks all you want to do is cough.

That Doctor should have prescribed a medication you could take, like a steroid or antibiotic. To tell you to stop coughing is rude and seems very inappropriate for a doctor. Alas, there is not much we can do about rude doctors or the doctors that don't seem to know why they are doing, maybe switch to a different Doctor? And if not ask him about medications you could take? Feel better OP! :)

I have bronchitis right now too. The doctor gave me a prescription cough suppressant because the coughing was exhausting me. It worked wonders.

Don't feel bad OP. I just got over bronchitis about three weeks ago. When I went into the doctors I explained to them about built up pressure in my eyes and how blood vessels keep popping. His advice? " Stop coughing. Suck it up. Seriously. " He then proceeded to give me meds that I had taken twice before (I had it for quite a few months - very low immune system-) that help for a few weeks, but then I go back to it. Guess who has bronchitis again..
