[|Human|] Hey, i got into a fight today because a guy was really pushing me so I swore at him and he closed his fists and pushed me in the chest like an hour and a half or 2 hours ago. I m home now but whenever i take a deep breath or move with my chests it hurts, do you think this is just a superficial injury or could it be more serious?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion it is superficial musculoskeletal pain only. But better to rule out internal damage as you are having chest pain on inspiration. Blunt chest trauma can cause following things.1. Rib fracture2. Pneumothorax3. Pulmonary contusion 4. Muscular injury. So better to get done chest x-ray first to rule out all these. If all are normal than no need to worry. It is mostly musculoskeletal pain only. Try to follow these for relief in chest pain1. Avoid strenuous exercise2. Avoid heavy weight lifting3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.4. Take good painkillers and muscle relaxant.5. Apply warm water pad to the pain site.
