When you get the wind knocked out of you which of the lung volumes have been knocked out of you and why?

According to Chris Freyberg, acting director of the Emergency Department at New York Downtown Hospital, getting the "wind knocked out of you" is not a loss of lung air volume but rather a temporary paralysis of the nerve to the diaphragm. A blow to the chest can stun the phrenic nerve (roots C3,4,5), which supplies innervation to the diaphragm. The diaphragm is unable to contract (lower) as a result, preventing subsequent volume changes that facilitate breathing.

Can you die from getting the wind knocked out of you caused by anxiety?

No, getting the wind knocked out of you typically refers to a temporary loss of breath due to a blow to the abdomen or chest, not anxiety. While anxiety can lead to feelings of breathlessness or panic, it does not physically cause the wind to be knocked out. However, severe anxiety can trigger panic attacks, which may cause distressing symptoms, but they are not life-threatening in themselves. If someone experiences persistent breathing issues, it’s important to seek medical advice.
