Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of a possible injury to the rib cage. I would suggest an x-ray of the chest to rule out any bony or soft tissue injury and see a physician for further management. If there is any injury to the rib cage, you would need strapping, rest, analgesics and anti-inflammatory medication. Evaluation of the pulmonary function also may be necessary. Proper management will usually relieve the symptoms in a couple of weeks. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
