Suggest Treatment For Breathing Difficulties & Dizziness

Hi. Today I was playing football at school and usually when the person with the ball gives it to their quarterback, we run at eachother. Well, I was blocking a person with his fist pointing out and we were both running at eachother at full speed and the fist socked me hard in the stomach. Now I feel like I have trouble breathing and am sort of getting dizzy.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Such kind of sports injuries can cause abdominal (injury to stomach or intestine) and lung (pneumothorax) complications.
So immediately consult emergency facility for chest x ray and ultrasound examination of abdomen.
If both these are normal then no need to worry much.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out lung and abdominal injury.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
