HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, rib fracture need no extra or special treatments but it heals very well with little care, now in your case if this caused some symptoms then of course it may need investigation and for this you need to get done x-ray of chest and go for clinical examination, it may not be anything to worry still it can not be taken as granted hope this information helps.
