Why do people struggle to stay upright when they laugh too hard?

154 views

I see people having to sit down or lean against the wall when they laugh too hard. It makes my own legs feel like jelly and I definitely need to hold on to something, otherwise I’d just end up sitting/laying on the ground. Why?

When you are laughing you are pushing up on your lungs using among other your stomach muscles. that is the same muscles which is used to lift your legs when walking. So your other muscles have to compensate in order to keep balance. This can be hard and it is easier if you are able to hold on to something.
