That is all fine and good Chevy Man but if you feel anything at all that isn't right in your body i would get pro active and get checked out...like i said there is no way to know if something was damaged inside of your body without an exam...hopefully it was just your body reacting w. adrenaline rushes because of the fight but like i said if something is wrong it can come on pretty fast...good luck......and the first rule of the fight club????

If you are saying that you had a "physical altercation" and you feel the need to cough then by all means you should be checked out by a doc.  It could be just about anything...the bodies normal reaction to cough is the body telling us something is wrong w. the body and is trying to rid it of whatever it is....could be the heart was effected and the electrical pattern of the heart is misfiring even if you don't feel it, could be an issue with your lungs or ribs,,,,,and if your heart rate is still elevated definately go see someone sooner rather than later.  when the body takes a beating of any type we may not be able to determine what is going on in the inside because we cannot see there without the correct tests...i would get checked out...something could come up on you pretty fast and it may not be good.......
