It happened to me once and I literally thought I was going to die. It’s funny after it happens but it’s no joke going through it.

Am high asf and this thought popped in my head and now I’m watching this :)

I just got the wind knocked out of me for the first time when I hit my bike on the mailbox. I feel stomach first and I found it really hard to breathe. Nothing was damaged internally, but my vision started to get filled with green stars and my ears started to go muffled. After that, I started breathing. To calm myself down, I laid on the grass and inhaled and exhaled. Then I felt better and I biked back home to heal the wounds. And that all happened less than an hour ago after commenting this. I was laughing because of the best childhood experience I’ve had in a while was getting the wind knocked outta me. 😅

Wow my mom and I were randomly talking about having the wind knocked out of you and so we look it up and this video easily taught us what is going on and now we actually understand the medical reasoning for it, thank you like you are awesome dude!

It feels like I'm breathing in and cant breath out so I have all this air inside of me and dont know what to do and so I start panicking

This happened to me a number of years ago. I was at Skyzone, stepped on a ball and fell so hard I couldn’t inhale. That was one of the scariest moments I felt. Now I know the science behind it, thx.

lol nice frieza video. Good explanation. The best one on youtube.

Thanks for explaining this phenomenon so well. It helped me learn about the boxing match of Charlo vs Rosario

This happened to me when I was a kid, football hitting me right in the spot. Got knocked down to the ground, cant breathe. The scholars quickly went there and lend me a hand when I was struggling to breathe. On that moment, my respect for them instantly shot up. I also remember a kid in my school getting winded by a girl swinging her arms and knocked him.

This is a informal lecture on how to destroy your enemies.

I need this in stupid form to understand what I’m doing so I can breathe again

This happened to me when I was a child and I fell off my bike. I was alone and no one came to help me. I was terrified and in so much pain and thot I was going to die. It totally traumatized me and now, whenever anyone pushes on my chest or back such that it compresses my diaphragm I burst into tears and cry for a long time. Horrible. Never leave a child to cry alone and terrified.

This was a really good and well explained video. Very helpful, thank you

Shout out to all the people watching this at 3am on a week night

I always imagined the two lungs checking up each other like "bro you good?" Before working properly again

Had this occur after getting in a car accident last Thursday (Aug 3rd) it not only hurt like hell, but I could not breathe until a minute later

I’m suspecting this happened to me when I fell down the stairs a few minutes ago, but it wasn’t painful at all, and I was more focused of trying to speak (which I couldn’t say anything at all? Kinda confused me) than breathe when I was trying to tell my mother I was perfectly fine, it was actually quite funny

Very interesting very true, physically or spiritually attacks by the way, thank you for sharing ! All the best.

I got body slammed in a fight but that was the 3rd time in my life I've had the wind knocked out of me. So I forced myself to stand and took deep breaths

Yeah it hurts really bad when I played rugby in high school, it was so hard to breath but I didn't wanna embarrass myself so I kept running lol

I was running in the hallway of my apartment to answer the phone and tripped and fell flat on my stomach real hard..first time I ever got winded I wasn’t in pain but gasping real loud laying on the floor trying to inhale for a whole minute until I calmed down.

So how do you recover? I have had this experience on multiple occasions, usually being a clumsy kid falling flat on my face down body, jumping out of a swing. Also getting punched in the guts on occasion. Came across a tip years ago. I will paraphrase... Do not panic and do not try to breathe in. Push the air, that is left in you, out, and and breathe in through your nose. I did get the opportunity to test this once. It seemed to help, but the first thing is do not panic and deal with the discomfort. I never experienced pain, just difficulty breathing. Edit: I totally misunderstood/ never really knew what the solarplexus is

Had this happen to me three years ago. Fell flat on my back from about a meter high and had the wind knocked out of me. Scariest thing that ever happened. I was on a training and the trainers immediatly told me what to do and held my arms up as I was trying to breathe. The first thought I had was: wait, what happens if I stop breathing? Doctors later told me I couldn't sport for two months and then I found out I had a compressed vertebrae. Still hurts till this day. A lot less painful than the moment I was there lying on the ground, but I can still feel my back isn't the same anymore. Interesting to see what actually happens if you have the wind knocked out of you!

Ima get somebody with this punch

This happened to me several times throughout my childhood playing soccer. It hurts so bad!

In 2nd grade, we were playing American football in recess, and one of the defenders charged at me with full force (probably at 5-7mph) and hit me in my solar plexus with his shoulder. It just feels like inhaling then just not being able to let go of the air, which made it worse. I also blacked out for 2 minutes according to my teachers and friends

This happened to me a couple times as a kid. The first time it happened I legitimately thought I might die.

Does anyone know what’s the worst case scenario when getting hot in the solar plexus? Nice Frieza reference btw, was a good way to demonstrate it. Much like the rest of the video helped me understand it more

Wow I honesty thought I was learning something lol

This is literally awesome. I left like I was in class but I enjoyed it. 👍

I was walkin down stairs and it suddenly felt as if the floor fell beneath me and I just kinda tripped on the stairs and landed straight on my butt [lol] and the impact from a 12 ft fall of that just like, cascaded up my spine and knocked the wind outa me. I was like "holy shit I can't breathe" but I just tried to breathe normally instead of panic breathing and it fixed it. Now my back hurts like all hell but yeah now I know what it feels like to get the wind knocked out of you and I never wanna do that ever again.

It would be nice if you told us how to quickly recover.

thanks for letting me know where to attack for maximized pain

I dove for a ball in volleyball and hit exactly above my stomach. I tried to inhale but no oxygen was coming, it was scary. My eyes started tearing up and my team thought it was bc I messed up, but I couldn’t breathe. I had to keep playing right after and I couldn’t breathe for a good 2 min

I slipped back on a steep muddy hill when I was 8, not badly hurt but I panicked when I had to sit and do nothing but inhale for about half an hour- so weird, I can’t remember if I was scared but I wasn’t hurt (I was on impact but not related to the breathing)

Thank you for the great video. I’m struggling to find resources for solar plexus syndrome particularly the part of a diaphragmatic spasm. Could you please provide?

I was skating today and did a rock n roll on like a curvy five foot concrete quarter pipe and while rolling out I didn’t turn my upper body fast enough and slammed on my chest and could not breathe in I got up quick to get outta the way and show I was good but immediately collapsed when I walked off and away. I breathed out and made an unintentional noise and finally caught my breath as the other skaters grabbed my board and asked if I was ok

I fell backwards 6 weeks ago onto metal steps, and I still feel slight winding.

0:20 Yes I have. I took a knee strike to the solar plexus. My whole world turned upside down Diana Ross style 😖lol

i must leave a like for that frieza & goku bit lol. nice one

It makes me laugh to see people say, "That happened to me once" because I got the wind knocked out of me all the time as a kid. Falling out of trees, off playground equipment, and falling off horses were the most frequent causes for me.

When I was young my sensi punched me there because I asked what it was

Is it harder for people with asthma to regain their breathe after getting wind knocked out of them than the average person who doesn’t have asthma?

Knockin da wind out all the opps w this one 😂

I came here after hearing Glenn Beck say that once you get older you just dont get the wind knocked out of you anymore. My conclusion was yeah, it happens once maybe twice and learn not to land flat on your back AND not to put yourself in a scenario where you would land flat on your back.

Very interesting I’m a medical student and was wondering this after seeing a video of people getting winded.. By the way many people get winded after a hard fall on their back, is it the same mechanism? So diaphragm have spasms?

great vid. I’ve been trying to find a real medical vid on this, all chakra talk everywhere else

boy the first time this happens to you is wild AF

Thank you 🪷

Honestly I had this at school each morning and it was hard to breathe alot so I had to rush to the bathroom so I can breathe

HELP PLEASE! I’ve been dealing with this for 8 years! No one can diagnose what it is! I RANDOMLY get IMMENSE pain right under where the ribs split. It feels like I have had the wind knocked out of me, but I can breathe. It floors me. Doctors say it’s not anything they can see on an X-ray, CT, ultrasound, and MRI and standard blood tests. No answers. I’ve been told it’s constipation! It’s so disheartening. My pain tolerance is high but this pain level is like giving birth! It lasts anywhere between minutes to hours.. no pain medicine makes it go away, no matter how strong. I’ve gone in and out of the ER FOR 8 YEARS because every time it happens it feels like I might die! Does anyone have answers?!

Wonderful! Thank you!

Such a great explanation - Would you be willing to be a guest lecturer for us one day?

This stuff is spot on using anatomy as a reason, but let me tell you as boxer and martial artists it really good! Hit anyone it the plex it’s game over! Now as a child I fell down the stairs and destroyed my plexus from my BACK! I felt like I was dying for 20 seconds which is long when you can’t breathe

I remember playing on a playground and I kid you not, I fell off a SLIDE. I thought I died… I laid there for a solid 30 minutes trying to breathe until the bell rang.

This is the first part of the body you target in karate

When I was at a horse show, a little girl fell off her horse and got the wind knocked out of her. It was really scary to watch.

The worst feeling in the world! Got the wind knocked out of me while biking. Missed judged a gap and my wheel got stuck so I stopped myself from going over my bike but hit my handle bars right in my stomach.

I once had a cousin throw the sharp end of a pillow directly into my solar plexus. He won.

Dexter brought me here...

Thanks. Just got decked in hockey and wanted to know what happened

Anyone else breathing really deep while watching this? 😂

I just got the wind knocked out of me today I fell on my back on my deck it felt like I couldn’t breathe It hurt soooo bad I thought I broke my back

Another good way to find it is to see just above the elbow line

I feel like this is like a TED talk

Would like to know more on the gastric and intestine and the solar plexus.

Thanks

I got the wind knocked out of me it was scary

It doesn't really hurt, it's just scary af lol you start panicking bc you can't breathe, and then you get a couple breaths and you're alright lol

For 30 years I have been having sudden and very intense pain in the solar plexus. Can’t link the reasons why and I have been trying to figure this out ever since. I have had moments of this 1-2 times a day, sometimes years without and every other month even while sleeping. If it isn’t a physical punch what could it be …

Once I fell down the stairs with my lower back and my breath stopped for a few seconds maybe for 10 seconds or more I could not even breathe an air molecule it was the scariest moment of my life …

It's unstoppable in fighting, you get hit there it's over.

I always make this noise when it happens

i was trying to do a trust fall from a height...my dad wasn't even paying attention to me and i didn't notice so when i yelled trust fall from the top of the steps it was 2 late my back hit the floor with all my force and i could not breath at all i was in so much pain and i was trying to breathe but nothing was coming in and i started crying while chocking on the air i felt like i was gonna pass out when my breathing came back i was stunned i was crying my eyes out and my dad was panicking lol that happened 2 years ago though so it's okay now lmao but today i kept falling at the roller skating rink and it reminded me of this but this time i didn't feel like i was dying it just hurt cuz my knees were hitting the floor hard

My 6 year old and I just watched this video after I pretended to dagger myself in the chest for dramatics but inadvertently punched myself in the solar plexus 😂

Had this happen to me Tuesday night. I've never had it happen before and it was so scary. The noise I made was none like anything I've ever experienced ☹️

I remember getting hit in the solar plexus at my kickboxing gym, not a fun experience.

I have a question do stronger external obliques help not getting the wind knocked out of you?

Jusy happened to me today. Im doing practice for an upcommimg dirtbike race. Fell of a turn and whiskey throttled, flew up and landed on my handle bars. Couldn't inhale whatsoever for a couple seconds, my dad helped me and told me to bring my arms up to breath, after about 4 hours its still sorta hard to inhale deeply, but im hlad i know this now lol

Car accident. I Flipped my car three times and landed upside down. Lost consciousness. Horrible pain from the front through to the back. One year later and I’m still in so much pain!

1st:at school when playing football someone threw a bullet right in between my ribs 2nd:at recess someone put they arm out and it hit my neck. 3rd: idk how it happened but when I tried to catch a football my friend did to and we hit each others sides

Nice thank you useful infos!

The old wrestling 🤼‍♂️ announcers would say, “Hogan chops the Warrior in the solar plexus”.

Kazuma Kiryu's Tiger Drop bought me here.

this happened to me a few times when I was a kid, never again.. I'm good.

Having coached lacrosse for 15 years, i witnessed many kids go through this for their first time. Knowing they'd be okay but seeing the panic in their faces was pretty entertaining

I just tripped and winded myself somehow and my mom was in the bathroom across my room I litterly thought I was gonna die and I rushed over to the bathroom and started banging on the door and rubbed some ointment on my back when I lay on my back it fells like im dying

I learned today that it is also known as the city of jewles. Referring to the chakra.

i remember in middle school we had a rare free time in PE class and someone threw a football (american football) and i happened to get in the way and it hit my abdomen hard and i fell and was winded hard. it did not hurt though

I wasn’t exactly hit in the solar plexus but fell right into someone’s foot, I was running out side and some people were sitting down on the floor and I tripped over one guys foot and he other door top dug into my solar plexus, what sucks was I was on the floor for about 4 minutes and they left me there and left.

It’s what happened to Ryan Garcia when Tank Davis landed a “punch to the liver.”

I’m 12 and this happens to me when I was skating I was trey flipping a gap and I feel right on my ribs I could not breath hro

Great video!

One time my dad and I were playing boxing and he stuck his arm out to block me as I rushed him and got hit there hard, needless to say I was done playing 😂

So what’s the strategy when it happens??

I had a really rough cough for a few days a month ago and since then I haven't been able to breathe properly, my diaphragm was already tense before but now my breathing is so bad I can't live my life and have been home ever since going to the doctor and treatments all the time but nothing works, what should I do, I am so scared please help

this ws helpful

i had the air blown outa me when i fell down the stairs after hearing a car crash outside and i searched it up on youtube
