I got hit in the stomach, do i need mdeical attention?

Question

So i was playing soccer today and i ran in front of the ball when the huge guy was kicking it. He hit it so hard it hit the top part of my stomach, under the breast area all the way to the top of my belly button. It hurts like h**l and i sound weird breathing, I'm starting to cough a bit but I am not coughing up blood. I am mostly afraid of something happening on the inside of my stomach like my lungs getting swollen or something (I'm no expert in medical situations).

Do i need to call the doctor or do something special in order to help this? I NEED HELP ASAP! please. =( It hurts really bad.

Answer 1

Get someone to take you to the emergency room. If you're breathing is weird go in.

Answer 2

I would say that it's a good idea to go see the doctor. you could have cracked or bruised a rib or something. They'll probably order a rib X-ray, or maybe even a chest x-ray, since you're coughing and your brething sounds weird. I'm not saying that you need to go to the ER or anything, but you probably wanna call your doctor tomorrow and see what he says!

Answer 3

Yes go to a doctor as soon as you can. he can tell you if something is wrong

Answer 4

You need to at least call a doctor RIGHT NOW!

Answer 5

Go to the hospital.  You may have a broken rib.  You want to make sure that the broken rib, assuming you have one, did not puncture any internal organs, or your lung especially.

Answer 6

I play soccer and a similar thing happened to me..........go to the emergency room, you could have a broken rib, or even have fluid in your lungs

they will probably take an x-ray(with that they will find something if any) and listen to your breathing

even if nothing is wrong its better that you go just to be safe and make sure nothing worse could happen

Answer 7

You need to go the the emergency room right now.  

Answer 8

Go to the ER it could be your pancrease, you need at least get to urgent care.. have someone drive you don't drive yourself.  If you are alone call 911 and tell the advice nurse what happened.
