I was accidently hit in the chest today in gym and I originally have a heart murmur its like grade 1 but after I got sick this last time which was two weeks ago I have been having troubles breathing and getting hit in the chest made it worse.....what should I do????
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult doctor and get done this investigation s.1. 2D ECHO to rule out worsening of murmur and cardiac disease.2. Get done chest x-ray to rule post-traumatic chest injury like rib fracture, pneumothorax and pulmonary contusions. In all of the above because breathlessness occur. And chances are high after blunt chest trauma. So consult doctor and get done chest x-ray and 2D Echo.
