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.

After getting the wind knocked out of you, the diaphragm muscle, which helps with breathing, can spasm or go into a temporary paralysis. This spasm can make it difficult to breathe and can cause the sensation of not being able to catch your breath.
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.
Have the victim lie on his back while you pick them up the front of their pants. This will allow the diaphram to settle down and let the victim to restore normal breathing. <><><><><> Its not a good idea to move someone who has been knocked out unless there is imminent danger of injury if you did not do so. They might have a cracked vertebrae, and moving them them might cause permanent paralysis.
Britain has the largest offshore wind farm in the world, the 175-turbines of the London Array wind farm, off the Kentcoast.
No. Wind is caused by a combination uneven heating of Earth's surface and Earth's rotation. There has always been wind on Earth and there always will be, with or without global warming.
It has seven volumes and seven chapters.
Athlete singers and wind instrument musicians typically have larger lung volumes compared to non-participants due to their training, which enhances respiratory efficiency and control. Their diaphragm and intercostal muscles are often more developed, allowing for greater air intake and better breath support. This increased lung capacity enables them to produce sustained and powerful sounds, which is essential for their performance. In contrast, individuals who do not engage in these activities may have less developed respiratory muscles and smaller lung volumes, resulting in reduced breath control and endurance.

Her body weight knocked the wind out of Michelle McCool
yes there is! Sorry to be useless but i cant remember how
The transmission connector is right below the battery it could have been knocked loose.
Go and see your Doctor.
The medical word with a root meaning "wind" is "pneumo-" or "pneum-" as in words like pneumonia (lung condition) or pneumothorax (collapsed lung).
The shortness of breath after upper back trauma is known as "having the wind knocked out of you". It is a common sports injury that occurs via blunt force to the upper back or being knocked to the ground. Someone who has had the wind knocked out of them may feel like they are dying but they recover in a matter of minutes.

You go inside of it and you cant get knocked down by the wind.
The meaning of blew down is being knocked down by the wind or something windy.
