Is Experiencing Weakness And Shortness Of Breath Part Of Recovery After Car Accident?

I had a car accident on December 6th 2011 and I am experiencing weakness and short of breath, middle of my back all the way to the front rib cage hurts. CT scan of the head came back ok. No CTscans of my chest or back taken. X rays taken and of my lumbar and cervical came back ok too. So should I continue to seek medical attention or is it part of the recovery process.?
Thank you for your time,
