Hello,
A chest X-ray study is necessary, coupled with a thoracic spine X-ray study, in order to exclude a possible bulging disc in this level, caused by the trauma. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
