RedemptionZeni Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) I fell down the stairs and landed squarely on my chest (sternum). I immediately felt a sharp pain throughout my body and honestly felt my heart absorb some of the impact for a brief second. Since then, I've taken it easy and have been lying flat on my back on the couch occasionally applying a bag of ice to that area, but when I do get up I feel pressure, not pain, but chest pressure and my right arm kind of stings, so I've tried not to pick anything up with it. Does this sound bad or do you think I avoided any major damage? I'm already dealing with trying to get on the transplant list for my failing liver, and the last thing I need is for a hospital stay to push that back even further. I think I can handle this until it heals up, but I'm worried about internal bleeding or something I can't tell just from physical signs.

You may have cracked your sternum, or you may have bruised your heart (inevitable if you did indeed crack your sternum), neither of which can be acertained without diagnostic testing - or on autopsy (bruising of the heart can cause myocardial irritability, which can lead to potentially lethal arrhythmias.) Additionally, your clotting profile is probably a freak show right about now, so internal bleeding isn't out of the question. tl;dr Call somebody in real life; anonymous message boards are a bad place to get medical advice, especially in an emergency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh this is not good. I feel a little better about moving, but the pain is still there and now I feel it when I cough. I think I'm in serious trouble, but I don't want to go through another hospital stay. I've been hooked up to enough IVs over the past five months, I can't take another stay.
