Hi i was laying down on my right side and my 3yr took her two fist and jammed it into my stomach a loud yell came out and and I laid there afterwards for a few minutes, i felt a pain down my left leg and thought nothing of it meanwhile thinking could she have ruptured something inside my stomach, i finally built the courage to stand up i felt no pain but I did start to cough, i went to my room and laid next to my husband who was napping I laid their thinking of what could possibly be wrong, and I began to think of the worst meanwhile feeling some pain in my stomach I started to black out and my hands were shaking I tapped my husband and yelled for him to call 911 and to take me to the hospital he calmed me down and I snapped out of it and came to realize that i was having a panic attack (which I've never had) Im sitting on the couch and I feel strange I still think she could have caused some injury, help me what do you think?

Hello Anonymous,

I hope that by the time you read my reply you are feeling much better. I doubt your three year old child has the strength to have caused any serious damage.

Regard,

Hi Anonymous,

First, schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to determine the extent of the injury.

Second, avoid the activity that is causing this problem.
