Suggest Remedy For Severe Cheat Pain With Breathing Difficulty

I got hit fairly hard in my chest where my heart is. I couldn't breathe when it happened. Its been a week now and the pain im my chest has increased severely. It hurts to breathe, lift things, turn my steering wheel. Then i attempted to run on the treadmill today like i normally do, it hadn't even been a minute and i couldnt breathe and the pain made me so sick i threw up. What did I do?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because your pain is associated with movements and lifting things.
But better to rule out heart diseases first because your pain is on left sided of chest.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
