A member asked:
Can a ball hitting your chest at a medium pace damage your lungs or heart? how much force would be needed for that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A contusion may occur with enough force. The chest wall does protect the organs.If concerned or symptoms associated with the injury, please see your physician or discuss on the phone. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. Watch for signs of breathing difficulty and palpitations.
