Something popped when i got out of bed and my blood pressure changed and i felt sick I think it was a muscle?

Question

it happened about an hour ago, the nausea passed and i feel somewhat normal again, it happened to be in the lower right quadrant of my abs. i was really scared. are these symptoms normal for a popped ligament or muscle? there is no pain if i sit up straight or walk, so its probably not appendix. what can be done to a popped ligament? Will it heal on its own? Will I die? I have two babies sleeping and a husband sleeping who rolled over and said your not going to die. Has this happened to anyone else? i am fat, i gained 30 for marriage and 30 for each child, i weigh 210 lbs. i did 10 situps on an incline 4 days ago, my abs hurt everytime i moved, but they seemed to be getting better (as far as cpnstant pain is concerned) but i sleep on my stomach with my abs stretched out. and i was sleeping for about 3 hours before i turned over and did the situp to get out of bed and something popped. im kinda freaked out, a little scared any imput would be good. and yeah, i know i need to lose weight.

Answer 1

things like this happen when you start exercising after not exercising for a long time. Your muscles are not use to the movements and they are going to spasm. If this pain continues as seriously as this morning I would recommend you see your medical doctor. Here's some things you can do in the meantime.

Take a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts. Soak for 30 minutes. The Epsom salts will help eliminate the lactic acid that forms on the muscles from over exertion.

Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles. I find the best cream for pain is “Blue Emu,” You can read more about this cream at http://www.blue-emu.com/

Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.

I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day. Realize that exercise, ambient temperature, and state of health affect the water needs of your body. One tip for athletes: it is healthier to drink a sports drink or water than fruit juice, soda, coffee, or milk during competition or active training periods.

500mg of calcium and magnesium can help with the pain

If you notice any lump in the region it could be a hernia, in which case you should see a doctor, as it could be serious if not treated
