thanks for your question
i completely understand your question
actually you got an injury while jogging.
pain in chest needs to be evaluated by a chest xray ,to see if any of the ribs is broken or fractured.
u need to consult a pulmonologist to request for a chest xray.
falling on ground can cause a muscle injury or a fractured rib both of the possibilities are there bu t it is very difficult to say without viewing the chest xray.
thanks /regards
feel free to ask more questions
may god bless you with good health
