Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Sudden Pain In Abdomen And Shortness Of Breath?
Yesterday while moving a large tv I felt a pop in my lower abdomen. I feel over backward and laid there in pain for about 30 seconds, short of breath. After I got up it hurt to move up and down and out of our rocking chair. Today it feels a little better, but I'm worried it may be something more serious.
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidate history. Yes, it is a worrisome thing. Either there is a tear in the abdominal muscle and bleeding at a spot that is painful or can be a beginning of a hernia if your pain is situated at inguinal region.
Take a strict rest till this gets healed up. Consult a Surgeon and get a clinical examination done . You may need an ultrasonography of the abdominal musculature to see the exact nature of injury you sustained.
