I often hear people say that they got a stitch in the side while laughing or running, etc. The stitch in the side is located below the chest and ribs, and it is painful. It usually feels better after a rest. Pregnant women should also avoid getting a stitch in the side to avoid harming the fetus, so be careful whether you are laughing or exercising. But what should pregnant women do if they get a stitch in the side and it’s very painful? What are some effective ways to improve this situation? "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. What should pregnant women do if they have a stitch in the side that is very painful? 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.

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. |
