Fell Down Stairs Chest Pains

Could I have a blood clot if I fell down stairs, have a bump on my butt, feel faint, big bruise covering my whole cheel chest pain, difficult to walk?
Probably not: Typically, blood clots in the veins are associated with inactivity, not trauma. A DVT usually gives you leg swelling and a "charley horse" feeling deep in the muscle of the calf. The bump on your butt could be a blood clot in the soft tissues (hematoma). The chest pain could be a chest wall contusion (bruise) or even a rib fracture. I suggest you get checked out by your doctor. ...Read more

If your stress test is normal, your symptoms are not due to heart disease and the risk of an angiogram cannot be justified. What if you died during the test to prove that your arteries are normal? (it has happened though thankfully is rare). ...Read more
