Worry of injury

[Grace360]

So yesterday I had an injury. Won't get into it.
Basically this was something over 200lbs was on my chest with not full pressure for a minute or so. It wasn't pressing and I didn't hear any bones crack but now I'm worried of delayed effects. Maybe a collapsed lung, something fractured, ect. Very scared and worried and wondering if I should go to the er. No bruises also.

I feel like I'm suffocating. Still anxiety?

[/QUOTE]You would know if you had a fractured/broken bone or a ruptured lung there wouldn't be any type of delayed effects on that you'd be feeling something. What you had is what is called a near miss it probably could have been worse but it wasn't so just be thankful for that and try to go on with your day. The ER is for sick people.

Are you gasping for air/rapid breathing? heart racing? chest pain? If so then get checked out. If not then you are more then likely just overthinking it. I've known 2 people that had their lungs collapse and neither one of them got on a message board during the crisis.

Did this 200 lbs object fall on you or just rested up against you?


Your body is incredibly resistant to many things.

Instead of immediately thinking about going to the ER, can you call a nurse at your doctors to ask about it? Heck, even many urgent cares have nurses manning the phones. they are more than willing to answer questions.
