Contracted intra-rib muscle

In cold weather I tend to suffer from a Contracted intra-rib muscle. It doesn't hearts that much, but still pretty annoying, and breathing becoming an unpleasant task.

Any tips for realising this contracted muscle?

The contraction of the intercostal muscles is actually taking place during breathing cycle at all times and person is not aware of it. However when the demand of oxygen increases then the contractions become more forceful and one becomes actually aware of the contractions. So the treatment lies in the fact that the cause of this has to be tackled or treated, as this is the result of a certain condition.

Now you may be getting due to some reason in this particular season, like there is some allergen in the air during this particular season, to which your body reacts thereby causing this problem. A detailed history and some investigations may be required to find the exact cause of this.

regards

In my day job I write about Blood Pressure Treatment and treat those who suffer from blood pressure problems. Low blood pressure is a particular interest and I'm often asked about how to lower cholesterol levels. A healthy heart is becoming a huge focus for many of us nowadays. Improving your blood pressure control and thus the health of your heart and circulation system is really important. My most recent online "adventure" is to start a facility for people to ask me my opinion and to provide high quality health information by answering medical questions online.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have a special interest in the problem of feeling Tired All the Time and in those who suffer from chronic fatigue or lethargy. This seems to tie in also to skin care issues or skin treatment problems and suggestions. Tiredness and fatigue can lead to major problems for many individuals in modern society and the way that this can affect all areas of general health can be quite invasive in terms of daily life and coping skills.

My work with footballers and athletes leads to a focus on Painful Shoulder conditions and on the problems associated with frozen shoulder or whiplash injuryRotator cuff injury causes problems for many of my patients.

When not working I daydream about my next amazing european vacation trip  My favorite European cities include Paris and Barcelona and my next blog project will be to write about the best way to spend a night in Paris and how to find an apartment in Barcelona. I just love European travel in all its forms.

You might want to try acupuncture - this type of hypersensitive contracted muscle is usually due to what's called a trigger point

Acupuncture can release these trigger points and might make a big difference to you
