Thanks for your question.
I can understand your concern.
As your history goes it would be advisable to get a chest x ray and an examination done just to rule out any lung contusion or any other injury. Also probably a chest harness will help you for the same.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
