SOB: Pulled chest wall muscles are one issue and can take days to weeks to heal. If by shortness of breath you mean it hurts to take a deep breath because muscles hurt, that would seem reasonable, however you should not be short of breath and this may be a seperate issue worth consulting your doctor.

Soon: It can take 2-3 weeks esp if you dont give rest to those muscles.Take it easy and be gentle.
