What Causes Pain In Chest While Deep Breathing Along With Throbbing Sensation?

Impact injury to chest area from my head/helmet when a snowboard trick went wrong. Sternum/ribs hurt. Possible fracture/bruising to sternum/central rib area? Hurts to laugh, cough, sneeze and hickup... all rather painful. Deep breaths painful also and am concerned about lungs etc beneath the area. Have not exercised for a week now but has not improved. Can feel pulse/throbbing in the area and pain at the moment.

It might be due to fracture of rib as a result of injury or some sort of chest infection. First of all I will advice you to go for x-ray chest to rule out the cause. For treatment, You have to take some antibiotic preferably levoflox or augmentin after an expert opinion along with akilos-p or ultracet for pain and bruising if any with omez-d or pan-d empty stomach. If still not relieved than you have to contact your surgeon as early as possible. Take care of your self.
