Can Occasional Chest Pain After Assault Indicate Damage To Heart?

I a male and am 43 years old about two meters. I was assaulted by a man he kicked me hard on the chest, I lost brief consciousness.

I occasionally feel a bit of pain on the area of the heart.

Could there be damage in my heart and will it affect my heart health life span?

Hi. The blow to the chest wouldn't damage your heart but this may be a rib fracture or a breastbone fracture so you need x-rays to check for those possibilities
