Tripped


Question Posted Tuesday November 27 2007, 2:57 pm

Last night I tripped over my computer chord and fell forward into hard wood floor, I didn't get a chance to brace myself so I basically just hit the floor hard.

My chord was plugged into an outlet (And my computer) and it was pulled really tight since the chord is short. My computer was sitting on top of a box which was relatively high. I had hopped over the chord to get something, and I went to turn back, but instead of going OVER the chord, I ran into it. Like I said, I fell forward, and took my computer with me. Meaning it fell to the floor just like I did.

I got the wind knocked out of pretty badly, but lately it's been hard for me to breathe. I have anxiety so honestly that might be all it is. I know that none of you are doctors, but is it possible for me to puncture a lung or something just by falling like that? Please just help me, thanks.

A punctured lung is caused by things like either, A) Impalement; B) Broken rib that pierces into the lung.
You would know if you had a broken rib. It wouldn't be just hard to breathe, it would HURT to breathe.

To be on the safe side, you probably want to get in to see your doctor and get it checked out. At least then you would know, and that would ease your anxiety.

Well, I would say that you might have just bruised a lung or something. You might have possibly broken a rib, depending on how you fell. Does you back hurt at all when you breath? Give it a few days and if it dosent get better than you might want to consider going to your doctor. It might be anxiety but I kinda doubt it. I hope this helps a little. Hope you feel better soon.
