Some Medical facts
A rib fracture is a crack or break in one of the bones of the rib cage. A break in the thick tissue (cartilage) that connects the ribs to the breastbone may also be called a fractured rib, even if the bone itself is not broken.
The muscles used for breathing pull on the ribs, so breathing may be very painful when you have a fractured rib.
Flail chest is a serious problem that happens when three or more ribs are broken in more than one place. If you have flail chest, the broken area can't hold its shape when you take a breath. This leaves less space in your chest for your lungs to open and air to flow in. It also makes it harder for the muscles to work well, so it's harder to take a breath.
A fractured rib may cause:
- Mild to severe pain in the injured area.
- Pain when you breathe.
- Pain around the fracture when someone pushes on your breastbone.
If you can't breathe normally because of pain or flail chest, you may:
- Feel short of breath.
- Feel anxious, restless, or scared.
- Have a headache.
- Feel dizzy, tired, or sleepy.
Now based on the above facts one can decide true vs false.
