What Causes Discomfort Below Ribs And Moderate Pain In Chest?

Hi im a 19 year old male, and im having upper right quadrant discomfort right below my ribs. This accured after ridding my bike and fall over the handle bars to flat on my chest. The pain is little to moderate and I havent been been able to stool in the restroom for 36 hrs. I am able to urinate. No blood or such from that. But Im just concerned of why I might not able to stool.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having blunt chest trauma and your chest pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal pain because of chest trauma.
I don't think there is any connection between your chest trauma and not getting stool.
For stool problem, drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated. Start high fiber diet.
Take curd or yogurt.
For chest pain, follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
You will mostly improve with all these in 1 week.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
