Why does my stomach hurt when I sleep on my stomach???

Supine is the most common sleeping position. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this sleeping position a corpse lying down, and with this sleeping position, the body and lower limbs can only be fixed in the straight part, and the purpose of resting the whole body cannot be achieved. When the pressure in the abdominal cavity increases, lying on the back is easy to cause chest tightness and panic.

Lying on your back like this, you will also consciously or unconsciously put your hands on your chest, which will put pressure on your heart and lungs, and you will be prone to nightmares. When lying on the stomach, most of the weight of the whole body is pressed on the ribs and abdomen, which compresses the chest and diaphragm, affects breathing, and increases the workload of the heart. Prone also increases the curvature of the lumbar spine, causing pressure on the facet joints behind the spine.

When lying on your stomach, twist your neck to the side to tilt your head to one side, which can easily cause damage to your neck muscles. When lying on the left side, the legs are slightly bent, although it is conducive to body relaxation and helps to eliminate fatigue, but the heart is located between the left and right lungs in the chest cavity and is on the left, the stomach leads to the duodenum, and the exit of the small intestine to the large intestine is on the left side, so when lying on the left side, not only the heart is squeezed, but also the gastrointestinal tract is compressed, and the gastric emptying is slowed down. TCM believes that:

The correct sleeping position should be to lie on your right side with your legs slightly bent. In this way, the heart is high and not compressed; The liver is in a low position, the blood supply is better, and it is conducive to metabolism; The food in the stomach is pushed towards the duodenum by gravity, which can promote digestion and absorption. At the same time, the whole body is in a relaxed state, breathing evenly, the heartbeat slows down, and the brain, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal, muscles, and bones are fully rested and oxygenated.

It's probably a stomach ulcer or gastritis, and you'd better go for a gastroscopy so that you can get an idea of your condition.

All I can say is that I'm too--

Sleeping on your stomach is not good.

First of all, after a person falls asleep, the basal metabolism of the whole body slows down, and the thermoregulatory function also decreases, resulting in a decrease in the body's immunity. The pores of the whole body are open, and if you don't pay attention to keeping warm, you will often experience symptoms such as nasal congestion and dizziness when you wake up.

Secondly, sleeping on your stomach can sometimes lead to discomfort in various parts of your body. If the head is pillowed on the arm for a long time, the blood circulation of the arm is blocked, the nerve conduction is affected, and symptoms such as numbness and soreness in the arm are very likely to occur. In addition, there is often temporary blurred vision after waking up, which is due to the pressure on the eyeball when sleeping on the stomach, causing the intraocular pressure to be too high.

In the long term, this will cause the eyeball to swell and the eye axis to grow.

In addition, sleeping on the stomach can not make the body be completely relaxed, and some muscle groups of the body, sweat glands, and ** will still be in a state of tension, resulting in not only no feeling of full energy after sleeping, but may feel more tired on the contrary. Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable sleeping on your stomach, then you should pay attention.

From another point of view, in the state of excluding conscious choice, different sleeping positions show different psychological feelings: sleeping on the stomach indicates a lack of security in the heart, a desire for love and protection.

Hehe, in this regard, you can take corresponding measures to adjust it in time!

Hope it helps you and your friends!
