A member asked:
This morning i got sick, i threw up so hard that my diaphragm really hurt. i haven't been able to eat all day due to the pain. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible: that you "pulled a muscle". The act of throwing up results from the contracting of several muscles, including those in the stomach, the diaphragm, the ribcage, and the abdominal wall. As with any muscle, sudden and hard contraction can cause a strain which can take some time to heal.
