Is An Injury To Arm Despite Being On Blood Thinners A Cause For Concern?

Hi I am on blood thinners and I ran into a dresser today with my arm, hard enough for the dresser to bump into the wall behind it. Should I take any medical action or is it fine? I have a pre existing appointment with my hematologist tomorrow morning.
