Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain After A Hit
A week ago I hit the right of my chest right outside my heart with the sharp corner of a dresser. It was right between two ribs. It feels like I have a bruise and now my heart is in alot of pain. Almost a 6 or 7 on a scale of 1-10. Mostly hurts when I enhale. Can it be something serious?

Hello
There's no problem with your heart here--this is just a chest wall contusion although you may have a minor rib fracture.
Since you're still having pain, let your doctor take a look and see if x-rays are in order
