Pain
I received a hit elbow hit right in the middle of my chest.. whenever i take a deep breath it hurts, is it worth seeing the doctor?
Pain
Breathe normally?
Honestly, if it bothers you that much, go see a doctor.
Otherwise, ignore it for a few days.
If you start hacking up blood, see a physician.
