[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having blunt chest trauma. Any following are the complications of blunt chest trauma which can lead to soreness, pain on breathing and unwell feeling in chest.1. Rib fracture.2. Pulmonary contusions.3. Pneumothorax4. Muscular injury. So chest x-ray is needed to rule out all these. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry much, you are having muscular injury only. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid heavyweight lifting.2. Avoid strenuous exercise.3. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep.4. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant.5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.Don't worry, you will be alright.
