Why does my back hurt after vomiting?
I had a stomach bug last night and vomited quite a bit. Now my back is really hurting, especially around my lower rib cage. Is it normal for my back to hurt after vomiting like that?

Vomiting is a pretty violent action for your body, leading to strong abdominal muscle contractions. This can definitely strain your back muscles, which are all connected. While it's probably just muscle strain, if it's severe or lasts long, a doctor's opinion is always the best.
Hmm, I track my body stats with my app, and after a really strenuous bout of vomiting, I sometimes see my heart rate spike, which indicates stress on the body. The back pain could be from the intense muscle contractions. Maybe try some gentle stretching after your stomach settles?
Oh, that sounds really uncomfortable! Vomiting puts a lot of pressure on your whole core, including your back muscles. It's likely just muscle strain from the exertion. Hydrate well and rest. If the pain is sharp or doesn't ease, a doctor can give you specific advice.
My doctor once explained that severe vomiting causes your diaphragm and abdominal muscles to contract very forcefully. This intense pressure and movement can easily lead to a strain in your back muscles. It's similar to how you might get muscle soreness after a tough workout. He advised resting, hydrating, and applying a warm compress.
Vomiting is like an intense core workout, but not the good kind! All that forceful contraction can definitely give you a sore back. Make sure you're hydrated and electrolytes are balanced. If your core is generally strong, you might feel less of this, but it's hard to avoid completely.
