Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain While Breathing Or Stretching

Before, i was hit in the chest and i had pain for awhile badly and it recently started feeling better then i was pushed over off a sofa falling onto my side and my chest is hurting badly when i lay down and try to get up for deep breaths or any kind of stretching. Should i see a doctor or will it just pass?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely consult doctor and get done chest x ray.
You were having chest pain before chest trauma (falling over sofa) and worsening paint after fall.
So we should rule out lung related causes for your chest pain first.
So get done chest x ray. If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for lung diseases.
Your chest pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal pain.. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid movements causing pain.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.. 4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
