Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
this girl hit me realllly hard on my chest (near my heart pretty much) and i got a bruise but could that hit.. yeah could that hit cause like my heart to bleed or something? i mean ive got a bruise like right on my chest and i dont know its kind of scary cause my heart is near there..
Probably not. It would take a massive punch for someone to be able to do that kind of damage to your heart. First you would have a broke rib and that would have to puncture you heart. A really hard punch can cause a painful inflammation to form on the membrane that covers your ribs. Also, that kind of punch could make some of the surface capillaries burst causing a very painful bruise. I once hit a guy so hard in the chest that I caused hairline fractures on three ribs, and that was nothing so bad as to damage his heart.
