A member asked:
Is my chest injury serious?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Need more details: A chest injury can lead to a minor bruise, a popped lung, an injured heart or torn blood vessels inside the chest. Thus, chest injuries can be minor or life threatening. You have expressed concern and you will need to see a doctor who can check to see what kind of injury you have.
