Can occasional chest pain after assault indicate damage to heart?
Patient: I a male and am 43 years old about two meters. I was assaulted by a man he kicked me hard on the chest, I lost brief consciousness. I occasionally feel a bit of pain on the area of the heart. Could there be damage in my heart and will it affect my heart health life span? Doctor: Hi.  The blow to the chest wouldn't damage your heart but this may be a rib fracture or a breastbone fracture so you need x-rays to check for those possibilities
