What Causes Chest Pain And Difficulty In Breathing After An Ear Injury?

Hi, I was playing squash, and a ball hit on my right hear ( the front small part of the ear). Next day I had little of internal ear pain and throat pain. Then, I think , i was not able to breath well. Now i have some pain in my back, neck and my chest. Do you think that these things might be related to the ear hit ? Should I see a doctor ? Thanks for your reply
