I did a backflip over a bridge, approximately 7m high and over rotated and landed flat on my back on flat, slowly flowing water. struggled to swim to the shore with the pain and shortly after started spitting out deep red blood. unbearable pain subsided after 5min to a aching for half hour. have had short breath for a couple days but am getting better. do i need to see a doctor to be safe?
