A broken rib, however, is dangerous because it's been dislodged from its normal position, and could potentially puncture a lung or another organ. You're experiencing increasing pain in your chest, abdomen, or shoulder. 2  You develop a cough or fever. 3  The pain in your chest is intense, but you can twist to look over your shoulder without a marked increase in pain. 4  A bruised rib will feel worse with twisting your torso; something more serious will not.
It can be alarming to feel pain in your rib or chest wall. You may immediately worry that youâre having a heart attack. However, many different conditions can cause pain, include a pulled muscle, bruised or broken rib, or even a condition related to your esophagus (the tube that carries food to your stomach). Sometimes, though, pain in your rib can actually be a sign of something more serious, such as a heart attack or even cancer. Because itâs so difficult to determine what might be causing your rib cage pain, seek immediate medical help. Compare rib pain symptoms to those of a heart attack.
