I once got the breath knocked out of me playing football. I thought I was gonna die. Very scary.
I did, too.
Luckily the coach knew what to do and I was fine.
But grasping for breath with short “hickups” was something I did not want to happen again, though I did go on playing football.
I believe this was not related to the clot shots,btw.
Solar plexus.
Had it happen to One Guy during a lacrosse game.
