A member asked:
Last night i fell down the stairs. now whenever i stretch or breathe too deeply it feels like my heart is being stabbed. should i be worried?

Broken rib?: When a fall down the stairs results in chest pain with breathing this can come from many sources. Possibilities include a bruise, a broken rib, or even a punctured lung. Usually a broken rib will hurt a lot immediately. A bruise tends to become more painful afterwards. Seeing a doctor can help sort out which is which.
