No, medical problems are not grounds to break a lease in MOST places. Where are you?

Have you asked if you can move to a first level apartment?

1. Where do you live, Country ? ( we are international) If US , state

2. Have you read you lease to see if there is any clause in it, that is the final say

3. Have you just asked the landlord ?

Unless you are in some sort of public housing, no.
Your best bet is to start looking for someone to take your apartment, with permission of the landlord.
