Suggest Treatment For Severe Chest Pain
I was at my soccer practice and I was hit hard by another player in my chest (with what I believe was their elbow). I now have chest pains and it hurts when I press on my chest or cough. Also there is a sort of constant pressure on my chest. The pain/pressure in the center of my chest 3 or 4 inches below my collarbone. Do you know what could be wrong?

Hello and welcome
thanks for posting your question
you might have hurt your ribs during the hit by other player
please get an X ray to look for a fractured rib or ribs are not damaged then it could be soft tissue which will take time to heal completely
meanwhile you can take ibuprofen for pain
apply hot packs
Hope this helps you
good luck
