Chest Pain, Shallow Breathing After Fall. Coughing, Feeling Unwell
Hi, I had a nasty fall last Monday. I tripped and fell heavily forwards and felt as if I crushed my chest. The following day I experienced pain in my chest and shallow breathing. Since then I have felt generally unwell. On Friday I ached all over and felt so ill I had to stay in bed. I am still experiencing shallow breathing and a slight cough, and feel generally unwell.
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you have are likely to be due to a soft tissue injury of the chest wall. You need to take rest, a mild pain killer and a muscle relaxant for relief. Using a heating pad will also be helpful.
