Does Severe Facial And Chest Bruise After A Fall Need Medical Attention?

Hi, I literally fell flat on my face last week, my head bounced and my nose hit the pavement/sidewalk. I have had two black eyes and bruised right cheek. I have a terrible pain in my right breast so hurts really bad if I cough, or get up from a chair or sit in a chair or take a deep breath. I am a 55 year old female. I did go to the hospital to be checked out.
