Help....I need some input

I have a terrible cold and have been coughing for a few days and today.... Oh my gosh, massive pain in the port sight. I feel as if the stitches are being pulled beyond their capacity or are in the process of coming out entirely.

Has this happened to anyone? If so, does this correct itself or is this something I should go see the doctor about?

Thank you in advance for all your help!

You are probably OK. I have experienced this same sensation after coughing fits too. I don't believe your stitches are in danger or anything. Our ports are tied down into our muscle wall and coughing makes us use those muscles so that's probably what's actually hurting you more...the sore muscle with a port attached to it. It's probably saying "jeez, gimme a break in here!".
