Five ways to solve the back pain after stitches

The back pain caused by stitches, especially the pain in the chest and ribs during running. Side stitches often occur in the lower right ribs and will disappear naturally after exercise stops. Abdominal massage, slow deep breathing or abdominal breathing can speed up relief. So what should we do?

one. Change your superficial shallow breathing to deeper breathing, inhale slowly and deeply, and exhale forcefully. This will allow you to inhale a large amount of air to meet your oxygen needs during exercise, relax your 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, then take a few deep breaths slowly. Repeat several times to 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.
