What should pregnant women do if they have a stitch in the side that is very painful? 80% of people don’t know the correct method

It is easy to prevent the body from getting a stitch in the side due to some problems during pregnancy. Pregnant women will feel very painful when they get a stitch in the side, and there are many reasons for the gap, usually strenuous activities or muscle tension, which can cause a stitch in the side. Pregnant women with a stitch in the side need to lie down and rest in time, pay attention to a stable breathing environment, massage to recover when necessary, adjust their breathing, and avoid long-term aggravation.

"Sticky stitch" is also known as acute chest and rib pain. The cause of "sticky stitch" is insufficient or no warm-up before strenuous activities.

During strenuous activity, muscles enter a state of tension, while internal organs are too inert to move immediately to meet the nutrients and oxygen needed for muscle activity, causing the respiratory muscles to tense and spasm. Or when the body's oxygen demand increases, improper breathing, which only speeds up the breathing rate but makes breathing shallow, can also cause tension in the respiratory muscles and lead to spasms. It may also be due to not participating in physical activities for a long time or the weather is too cold, causing excessive sweating. Low sodium chloride levels in the body can also cause side stitches.

one. Change shallow breathing to deeper breathing, exhale slowly and deeply, and exhale forcefully. This will allow you to inhale a large amount of air to meet the oxygen needs during exercise, relax the respiratory muscles, and eliminate pain.

two. Adjust your breathing rhythm and coordinate it with your running frequency, so that you can breathe in and out every two steps or three steps.

three. If the pain cannot be relieved by the above methods, you can take a deep breath and hold your breath, tap the painful areas on both sides of the chest or under the ribs, and then take slow, deep breaths. Repeating this several times can gradually relax the respiratory muscles and relieve spasms.

Four. Before strenuous activity, do warm-up exercises to allow the respiratory muscles to gradually adapt to a faster frequency of contraction to avoid spasms.

five. When exercising in winter, try to breathe through your nose. If you breathe through your mouth, keep your mouth half open to allow cold air to enter your mouth through gaps between your teeth to prevent excessive stimulation from the cold air.
