When I run my side hurts and I can't breathe?

If you have asthma then itll obviously happen. But if you dont then its caused from breathing in through your mouth. When you breathe in through your mouth the air goes unevenly into your lungs. One of your lungs is gonna have more air and that causes your sides to hurt. Heres some advise, if u cant breathe then stop running. :)


How painful would 6 fractured ribs be?

Very painful. Seven fractured ribs in nine places was an experience wished not to have. You have trouble breathing without pain. Do not even laugh, it hurts so bad. There is nothing that can really be done for fractured ribs, so they take a lot of time to heal. The ribs are in an area that protect vital and sensitive organs. As stated above the lungs are one such area that the ribs protect. The ribs being broken alone can cause a great deal of pain but there is always the question of whether anything had been bruised or if there was any damage to any of the areas that the ribs protect. This would of course cause even further pain to exist.
