How to relieve stomach pain caused by excessive exercise
Disease description:
Recently, I ran 2000 meters, but experienced stomach bloating and pain. May I ask, how can I relieve stomach pain caused by excessive exercise?

Excessive exercise can cause stomach pain, and the main methods for relief include:
1. Heat application: Apply a warm towel or hot water bag to the stomach area to promote local blood circulation, which helps alleviate cramping pain.
2. Massage: Gently massage the upper middle abdomen or around the navel in a clockwise direction, which helps stimulate gastrointestinal motility and relieve stomach pain.
3. Dietary adjustment: Drink an appropriate amount of warm water or honey water; avoid consuming raw, cold, spicy, or greasy foods to prevent additional strain on the stomach.
4. Medication: If the pain does not subside, medications such as proton pump inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole, rabeprazole) to reduce gastric acid secretion, or gastric mucosal protectants (e.g., bismuth potassium citrate, colloidal bismuth pectin) may be taken under a doctor's guidance.
5. Rest and observation: Stop exercising, rest adequately, and observe whether the symptoms improve. If the pain worsens or other symptoms appear, seek medical attention promptly.
