[|Human|] i was laying on my back and my 14 lb dog just jumped onto my upper chest from about 3 feet up, using it as a spring board. Breathing was a bit tight for a couple of minutes, with a wheezing, but seems ok now. I iced immediately. Area is tender to touch, but no sharp pains even with breathing deeply.What symptoms should send me to the er?
[|AI|]  Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough examination of the chest and an x-ray is advised. Since most times this kind of mechanism of injury lands into either a hairline fracture in the rib or may be a Cochin Chat Doctor.  So the pain, is intense in nature. Getting a thorough examination is advised to safeguard the ribs and lungs. Also, undergoing proper physical therapy will teach the breathing exercises pattern to Improve the strength in the muscles and reduce the pain. Majority of cases respond well to proper physical therapy. Also there will be increased lung capacity and pulmonary rehabilitation too for good health. RegardsJay In
