Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I am extremely sorry for the incident but I'm glad to help you at this site. Well, I hope you have got your chest X-ray done at the time of accident. But, if you hadn’t got it please go for it to rule out any fluid accumulation in your lungs called as pleural effusion or hemorrhagic effusion which may occur after chest trauma. If you have got your X-ray already, then better to repeat it again. If lungs are clear, then it might be a simple muscle inflammation and nothing to worry.

Hope I cleared your doubt. Thank you.
