Is painful chest after being kicked on chest followed by stopped breathing for a minute concerning?
Patient: hello im a teenage girl i was kicked at his hardest in a chest by a male wearing office shoes. the heel hit into my chest and caused me to fall to the floor and stop breathing for 1 to 2 minutes. my chest has been painful and very achey. however there is no bruising. should i be worried? Doctor: Thanks for your query. A blunt trauma to the chest may result in fracture of ribs, contusion of lungs, leakage of air from the breached lung. You must get a chest xray done. If everything is normal a course of analgesic will help you. Best wishes
