What Is The Cause For Flatulance Since The Fall?
This morning I fell against a metal fence and banged my ribs for left breast around under my arm. I am in quite a bit of pain with it - especially when I try to stand. I also seem to be suffering from flatulence since the fall. Do I need to see my doctor, or put it down to bruised ribs ?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, you had a hit at the chest area and you have flatulance as well.
There could be injury to the ribs and may be there is pressure on the stomach or hiatal hernia.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment .
You may need to have an X ray and gastroscopy.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms omeprazole, domperidone, cifixime and paracetamol,till the diagnosis is established.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
