Why Do I Get Severe Stomach Cramps While Exercising?
I keep having severe cramping when I do situps. It feels like my stomach is tied in knots. I have to stop and press on the areas to make it stop hurting. Sometimes I have a hard time breathing during this. I just started exercising 2 weeks ago. I am overweight and trying to get fit.
There has to an internal problem like enteritis or inflammation of any internal organ , that you are getting this. You have to undergo a proper clinical examination to be done by a Doctor who can catch many of the problems on your proper history and physical examination and can then guide for further investigations and treatment. Go for ultrasonography/ CT scan of the abdomen. Also you have to take an opinion of hoe to reduce weight.
Stop exercises till you get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
