Hi,
I am sorry for the accident you went through.
Your actual symptoms are due to car accident you had 8 days ago.
I highly recommend to consult with your physician to get further tests to exclude internal bleeding like:
- abdominal ultrasound
- chest X-ray
- cardiac tests: ECG, echocardiogram, holter monitoring
Wish fast recovery!
