While working in an attic I had an apro 8 foot fall through the ceiling and landed on my back. on carpet. I basically feel like I was just slaped on the back real hard (whih has happened before). Has this ever happened to anyone? What should I do? Should I make an appointment with my doctor for tommorow? Etc.

I did this and fell into my tub and busted my foot!
You're gonna be sore for a few days. If you have any difficulty breathing, go to the er.
If you are still in alot of pain in the morning, call your doc. Better safe than sorry!

Yes. Get to the doctor asap.
First thing in the morning, the only well you can tell how serious it is, is after a night rest, and you try to move around with the same back injury, by bending and stretching.
Unless you have a lot of "cushion" back there to help pad your fall, a back engery is nothing to play around with.

8 feet is a long drop. As long as you are not feeling any pain, I don't see any reason to see the doctor. If you are feeling pain or start to then see a doctor. I imagine you just got the wind knocked out of you.
