Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just turned 55 am 4 foot 11 inches 97lbs I NEVER had ANY issues before I got assaulted almost a year ago. The assaulter is a master black belt in ju jitsu. He came from behind and "bear hugged" me while beating me into walls and such. He jerked me around litterally as if I was a rag doll. Squeezing my upper chest the entire 5 minute ordeal. I could feel my ribs cracking and could not get a breath at all. When the assault was over I was vomiting and could not breathe. I was collapsing and could not even stand or walk. The hospital said left atrial enlargment amongst other I juries. I read that this is caused by pressure. My question is this: did or could my assaulter cause this heart injury
