Running stomachache is a very common phenomenon. People are curious about what causes it and what solutions are there? Here are the reasons and relief methods of running stomachache I sorted out, which I share with you!
Lack of exercise
Most of the right upper abdominal pain is caused by lack of exercise. People who lack exercise need more oxygen when exercising than well-trained athletes, so they have shortness of breath.
Under normal circumstances, when people inhale, the negative pressure in the chest increases, which is conducive to the blood reflux in the hepatic vein. When breathing is rapid, the chest pressure decreases, and the blood reflux in the liver is blocked, resulting in congestion in the liver and liver pain.
Gastric reflux
Swallowing a large amount of air with exercise makes the stomach more dilated, which is easy to produce gastroesophageal reflux, belching, heartburn or nausea, resulting in upper abdominal distension and pain.
Insufficient exercise blood supply
During exercise, the blood supply of skeletal muscle increases, and the increased blood volume is mainly drawn from internal organs. Therefore, the vasoconstriction dominating internal organs leads to insufficient blood supply, which leads to spastic contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscle and abdominal pain.
Chronic diseases
Patients suffering from chronic hepatitis, cholecystitis, gastric ulcer or chronic appendicitis will also experience pain when participating in strenuous exercise due to the involvement and vibration of the lesion.
Gastrointestinal spasm
Running on an empty stomach or after a meal, overeating or drinking too much water before exercise (especially too many cold drinks) can cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, gastrointestinal spasm and abdominal pain.
Before exercise, eat too fast, eat too much or eat food that is difficult to digest, produce too much gas, coupled with strenuous exercise, the abdominal pressure increases, and the peritoneum is pulled, causing abdominal pain. At this time, cold abdomen or constipation, Ascaris stimulation, etc. can cause intestinal spasm and abdominal pain.
Rectus abdominis spasm
During strenuous exercise in summer, due to a large amount of perspiration, the body loses salt and water, fails to supplement in time, resulting in water and electrolyte metabolism disorder, coupled with fatigue, which is easy to lead to rectus abdominis spasm. This kind of abdominal pain mostly occurs in the later stage of exercise.
If you have the problem of running stomachache, please make full preparations before running and run step by step. Before running, you should eat or drink a small amount of water. After dinner, you should not run or exercise immediately, because this will not only cause abdominal pain, but also lead to indigestion after a long time.
1. In case of abdominal pain, slow down the movement speed in time, adjust the breathing rhythm, strengthen deep breathing, press the painful part or bend down to run for a while, and the pain can be alleviated or even disappeared.
2. Gently massage and knead the abdomen can play a role in harmonizing blood vessels and reducing pain.
3. Press the "Neiguan" points of the two forearms with your fingers: extend your arms and raise your palms, in the middle of the inner side of the forearm, three horizontal fingers on the second horizontal line behind the wrist, and in the middle of the two tendons, which is helpful to relieve pain.
4. In case of palpitation, cold sweat, coma, pulse speed and other signs, lie flat immediately and drink some sugar water.
5. After taking the above measures, if the pain has not been alleviated, you should stop exercising. You can take oral analgesic and antispasmodic drugs, acupuncture or rub Zusanli, colorectal Shu and other acupoints with your fingers to alleviate the pain.
6. If abdominal pain is stubborn and severe, stop exercise in time and go to the hospital for examination.
Don't squat and rest
This is a very common practice. When you feel tired after exercise, you squat or sit down and think it can save effort and rest. In fact, this is a wrong practice. If you squat down and rest immediately after fitness exercise, it will hinder the blood reflux of lower limbs, affect blood circulation and deepen body fatigue. In severe cases, gravity shock will occur.
Don't indulge in cold drinks
Exercise often makes people sweat profusely, especially in summer. With the consumption of a large amount of water, there will always be a feeling of dry mouth and urgent need of water after exercise. Young people mainly like to buy some cold drinks to quench their thirst. However, at this time, the human digestive system is still in a state of inhibition, and the digestive function is low. If you want to cool and quench your thirst for a while and indulge in a large number of cold drinks, it is very easy to cause gastrointestinal spasm, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and induce gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, don't eat a lot of cold drinks immediately after exercise. At this time, it's appropriate to supplement a small amount of boiled water or salt water.
Don't eat at once
During exercise, especially intense exercise, the motor nerve center is in a highly excited state. Under its influence, the parasympathetic nervous system, which manages the activities of internal organs, strengthens the inhibition of the activities of the digestive system. At the same time, during exercise, the whole body blood is also redistributed, and the needs of motor organs are more intensively supplied, while the supply of organs in the abdominal cavity is relatively reduced. The above factors weaken the peristalsis of gastrointestinal tract and greatly reduce the secretion of various digestive glands. It needs 20-30 minutes after the end of exercise to recover. If you eat in a hurry, it will increase the burden of digestive organs, cause functional disorders, and even cause a variety of diseases.
Don't smoke
Smoking after exercise, breathing in the air in the lungs mixed with a large amount of smoke, on the one hand, in addition to reducing the oxygen content, it is not conducive to paying off the "oxygen debt", which is difficult to eliminate body fatigue; On the other hand, when the human body inhales such foggy air, it will affect the gas exchange in the human alveoli, resulting in chest tightness, asthma, dyspnea, dizziness and fatigue due to insufficient oxygen supply after exercise.
