Does Osteogenesis Imperfecta Cause Breathlessness?

My daughter is 8 and has osteogenesis imperfecta. She was coming down the stairs and slipped and hit her spine really good 3 times. She s lying flat on the couch and says she had a headache, it hurts to breathe, and that her back is hurting. Should I call an ambulance or what a little? She s moving all her arms and legs and did not hit her head. She won t turn over because it hurts to bad.
