What Causes Nausea And Headache After An Abdominal Injury?

I was at the gym yesterday and attempted to do a plank exercise when it felt as though I was stabbed in my abdomen. I ended my training session and went home.The pain was there consistently all night, it hurt to move. Today it has continued as mostly an ache all day when I m not moving, but if I move, it s a sharp stabbing pain. I just ate lunch, but now I feel nauseous, have a headache and it hurts really bad to sneeze.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.

Plank exercises involve the abdominal muscles. It looks you has a strenuous session and you have either ruptured some muscles or a blood vessel causing a hematoma.

I would advise the following in such a patient:
First of all, strict bed rest unless you cant to visit a Doctor.
Clinical examination by a Surgeon.
High resolution of the abdomen and the abdominal wall to see for the diagnosis. Tell the Radiologist where to see for the findings.
Take an anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen as per the body weight at least 8 hourly.
Further treatment as per the diagnosis.
Do not try anything at home.
