Dear friend first of all thank you for consultation.it seems that the chest pain is really bothering you very much.I think perhaps you have injured one or more ribs by the impact with your friends elbow.if any rib is broken then this kind of symptoms are elicited.as far as your shivering is concerned may be it was because of mild undercurrent fever was causing that.so in opinion you should go for a XRay of chest for rib and then seek consultaion of your orthopaedician for your problem.my best wishes for you.thank you.
