1. What are the causes of chest pain after swimming?

The early symptoms of hypoglycemia include palpitations, fatigue, hunger, hand tremors, cold sweats, pale complexion, cold limbs, or nausea and vomiting, which are mainly caused by excessive excitement of the sympathetic nerves and excessive adrenaline. Hypoglycemia is episodic, not frequent, and rarely causes symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Anemia can cause symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and tachycardia, but generally does not cause symptoms of chest tightness. It also mainly causes symptoms of dizziness, but the blood pressure is around 60/90, which generally does not cause changes in blood supply.

Avoid swimming before or after meals: swimming on an empty stomach will affect appetite and digestive function, and may also cause unexpected situations such as dizziness and fatigue during swimming; swimming on a full stomach will also affect digestive function, and may cause stomach cramps, and even vomiting and abdominal pain.

Avoid swimming after strenuous exercise: Swimming immediately after strenuous exercise will increase the burden on the heart; the sudden drop in body temperature will weaken resistance and cause colds, pharyngitis, etc.

Avoid swimming during menstruation: Swimming during menstruation may cause bacteria to enter the uterus, fallopian tubes, etc., causing infection, leading to irregular menstruation, excessive menstrual flow, and prolonged menstruation.

After entering the water, the skin's blood vessels contract due to the stimulation of cold, and the skin color becomes pale. Phase 2: After staying in water for a certain period of time, the blood flow on the body surface expands, the skin turns from pale to light red, and the skin turns from cold to warm. The third stage: staying too long, the body temperature dissipates more than the heat generated, and goose bumps and chills appear on the skin. This is a taboo period for summer swimming, and you should get out of the water in time. Swimming should generally not last more than 1.5 to 2 hours.

2. How to relieve chest pain after swimming

Whenever the weather is hot, many people like to swim. Swimming is quite common nowadays. It is mainly to get rid of the summer heat, and the most important thing is to increase the vitality of the body. Many people even choose to lose weight. Therefore, swimming has many benefits.

Generally, many people will feel weak limbs and very uncomfortable after soaking in a pool for two or three hours. It feels like they have not rested for a long time. The most important thing is that they will have symptoms of chest tightness. Many people may think that it is related to heart disease. In fact, it is not caused by excessive fatigue. Because people will soak in water for a long time during swimming, the body itself is in a suspended state. If you do not pay attention to adjustment, it may cause chest tightness.

Generally, we recommend that the time for health-preserving swimming should be controlled within 20 minutes or 45 minutes. If you feel tired, you should go ashore and rest as soon as possible. Soaking in water for a long time will cause the body to float in the air and cause symptoms of hypoxia. Therefore, everyone needs to be vigilant in normal times. The body's general temperature regulation function will also be damaged, so many people are prone to cold hands and feet when in the water.

Because of soaking in water for a long time, some problems will occur in people's body changes, such as purple lips, goose bumps on the body, and even more serious symptoms such as cramps. More serious cases may cause small veins to dilate and blood to stagnate in the subcutaneous layer. This situation may cause poor blood circulation and cause great harm to the body. Therefore, everyone should be vigilant in normal times and try not to be affected by long-term swimming.

Swimming for a long time is very bad for the body. It may cause damage to our body and even cause various diseases to invade the human body. So everyone should not swim for too long. When necessary, you can go ashore to rest for a while, give yourself about half an hour of recovery period, and then swim down. This cycle will allow you to stay in the water for a longer time in the future.

3. What precautions should be taken when swimming

First of all, every time we go to the swimming pool, do we put the clothes we take off directly in the locker? In fact, this is absolutely not advisable, because the swimming pool is a public place, and everyone may splash water on the lockers and chairs when they change clothes after swimming. Women in particular should try to avoid direct contact with them at this time to avoid contracting germs. Secondly, we should also pack the changed clothes in a clean bag. It is better to be safe than sorry.

When we choke on water, it is best not to blow our nose, as this will harm our liver. Women should not stay in deep water for a long time, especially women who are menstruating (it is best not to touch water during special periods), because swimming pools are recognized as pools of bacteria, and the water pressure in deep water areas has always been relatively large. Swimsuits are very permeable, which gives bacteria an opportunity to take advantage.

You must do warm-up exercises before swimming. Don’t think that it is useless. In fact, it is very beneficial. It not only relaxes the muscles but also warms up the body. After all, no one can stand entering a cold pool at first. It can also protect the internal organs. After swimming, you should take a shower and rinse your mouth as soon as possible to help clean the bacteria on your body. Do not go swimming alone in places you do not know or without someone to accompany you. People who are not good at swimming, please do not go into deep water
