What Causes Chest Pain Along With Difficulty Breathing After A Chest Injury?

I was just at the doctor. I fell on Saturday, the 14, on my left chest . I have trouble breathing, can only sleep a certain way, and have sharp stabbing paings in my chest area. I have some bruising, but after x-Rays, my doctor said I would be fine and it was just some bruising. After waiting almost a week and still struggling with breathing, dreading coughing or sneezing, do you think I should get a second opinion or just take it slow, and hope I heal well soon?

This might not be detected on x ray.
