Answers:
Well usually it happens from getting punched or kneed in the gut!. Basically, it feels like you are drowning because you can't pull in any air!. Since your abdomen controls your breathing, if you get hit in the abdomen, you muscles have a natural tendency to contract!. If you get hit hard!.!.!. they will contract very hard and you wont be able to control your breathing, or to pull in air!. It's a horrible sensation to have, but it goes away within a minute!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
