Compression Stress & The Body

 I have learned just over a year ago about the process of stress in the moments before an earthquake and how it affects my body. It feels like a compressive force. Everything becomes tighter and tighter and then the seismic waves relieve it. It seems to add stress and pressure on the internal organs. It can at times make you feel like you have to go to the bathroom or even feel nauseous. It would also make you feel like you have weights tied to your hands and in the bottom of your feet. It would feel like I'm twice as heavy, like I'm being pulled down into the ground. I would find myself sort of stooping over or less willing to move. It would be more uncomfortable during menstruation where I feel uterine pressure and discomfort.

I visualized the process. The energy from the earth churns up into my body like a current. It flows up to the top of my head and then back down. Halfway there, it also gets caught in a circular loop at the sides(where I feel most pain - particularly my left side where there is a little more space). My sides are like pockets, spaces where the energy then circulates downward, sort of sewing me into the ground. It also is like the affect of winding up something tighter and tighter before it gives way. I'm also speculating the effects it may have on fluids in the body. I was wondering whether the compressional stress could trigger retrograde menstruation or suppress it. I wondered if the pain in my side may also be caused by blood and other fluid pooling from the stress. I am now considering tracking all this down in a notebook. I believe that is what I should do from now on. I will be monitoring functions and symptoms more thoroughly while keeping track of the earthquake activity near and far and take notes.
