Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.
You need to report to ER as soon as possible. We need a plain X XXXXXXX film erect and supine and if required a CT scan of the abdomen. Also an X-ray of the chest would be helpful.
Having a distended stomach after falling down is not a good sign and you need to consult a doctor at your local place immediately.
Hope this was useful.
