A member asked:

I fell hard on my back and now i'm wheezing and have mild chest pain in the center by the sternum. could i have broken something?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Because of the new wheezing and chest pain you need to be evaluated. After a trauma to your back or rib cage you could have multiple problems including a pneumothorax or a deflated portion of your lung. Please go to your doctor or ed asap.
