Chest pain- spittng blood

Okay, basically i got punched in the middle of the chest right at the top like in the middle where the little dip is.

At first it hurt, (you may say, obviously as you juist got punched there :p) it hurt a bit different then it does when you get punched, but i didnt worry about it too much (this was on saturday).

Yesterday while laying in bed i started feeling about around the place where it hurts and once i located the main place of pain i pressed down, this resulted in extreme pain in my chest and sorta panic, where i jumped out of bed and was like ''WTF SHould i do'' then the pain died down again and i calmed down...

Today i sat down at the pc for a while and then sorta streched leaning backwards, there was a weird 'click' sound and then ifelt like I had a throat-full of phlem, i walked to the loo and sorta coughed it up and spat to find it was mainly blood :wtf:

then i spat a few more times with blood, then no more blood came, after a while thoguh there was mroe blood when i spat... :s

I have heard of a phrase 'internal bleeding' anyone think a punch to the chest could have caused this, and if so what should i do to make it stop?

(i mean i can hardly put a plaster on it can I :jointsmile: )

Thank you for any advise...

See a Dr.

Dont screw around, dont look for home remedies, dont ask your friends what they would do, see a Dr.

Some things are beyond the scope of home remedies and suggestions, and if you are coughing up blood, and have that kind of pain from the blow, then its very possible that you are actually injured, and the only way to make certain nothing is permanently wrong is to see a Dr.

In the end its the best thing to do, because even if nothing is wrong, worst that happened was that you have to pay a Dr bill, but they can prescribe you some medicine to help with the pain if thats your thing. *wink wink*

you probably cracked a rib and thats messing your chest area up. breaking ribs blows. go get an x-ray or something.

Yeah dude go see a doctor! Spitting up blood is never good. You could have internal bleeding or something. Better to be safe than sorry.

Sounds like you may have broken your sternum, see a doctor immediately.

Hell nah! i hate meidcines of any kind, the only time i take em is ewhen they really really really have to be taken, any iburprofen or stuff liek that that i get given goes straight to my parents or soemone else lol cos i would never take one.

but i mean i press my chest about and stuff and nothing moves so i dont think i broke something :S

Thanks for the replys guys, i might just go see the doc o be sure... :S

I don't wanna meet the guy that can punch a person in the chest and break their sternum. From what i understand its a pretty thick bone.

No matter how it happened, See a doctor. You need xrays.

hmm.. lol this guy that punched me has a pretty good punch :jointsmile:

Anyway i am off to the a&e now, thanks guys :hippy:

Go to the doctor immediately. That's not good.

Yeah that could be a bad thing dude, if it broke a piece of your bone off it could end up causing major problems like cutting a vein or a lung or somethin crazy. See a doctor asap.

i smacked my shoulder into the middle of my mates chest before and he was spitting blood and fucked up for about a week, getting a smack in your chest can be pretty bad you should get it checked out :)

let us know what happens.

Hey guys i am back :D
Nothing bad happened it seems its just inflamation, she said she didnt know why i spat blood out and said i should take ibuprofen :D the amaazing cure for all tablet :D lol

Seriously tthe amount of times i have been given that medicine by doctors it is amazing... :S (also paracetamol, lol if they cant fidn whats wrong they will give you either and tell you to go home :P)

But no blood since, so i guess it cant be bad, she said i ahve inflammation from the punch and the fastest way to make it go away is to take ibuprofen, but i dont have to if i dont want to, so i wont.

thanks to all who tuned in, oh yeah so the guy who punched me aitnstrong enough to break my sternum it seems :D :D :D
lol

Yup, thats it, thanks all, im off to smoke.
(ps: the punch was a friendly thing, dont worry i wasnt beaten up or anything)

hmm...to tell the truth i was hoping it was something terrible and you could tell us something interesting, but not bad enough to do any serious harm. yea i think they give you ibuprofen for everything because you cant use it to have fun....

...yea the mods are proboably going to remove that...the whole fun thing......now that i think about it....CAN you use ibuprofen for fun?....probably not because it generally comes with acetominophen in it...and that kills your liver at fun-levels.....

LMAO!!!! :D

It won't do anything for your fun level but it will help the inflammation.
