Hello
Thanks for your query.You had a fall from staircase and getting severe pain in chest .You have to get your X ray Chest done to rule out fracture of the Ribs. Usually fractured Ribs give severe pain Please consult some surgeon who will asses you and advice further treatment.In the mean while take pain killers Nothing to worry there is nothing much to be done and take rest for a week.or two.
