Most injuries to the chest are serious because they could potentially damage your vital internal organs, including your heart, lungs, liver, or kidneys. Even if you can't see any damage, that does not mean it is not there. You should seek medical attention immediately for chest-related injuries.
Common Chest Injuries:
- Bruising
- Ruptured spleen
- Perforated lung
- Fractures of the sternum and/or ribs
