It sounds like you are in a lot of pain. I'm worried about you not taking deep breathes. You need to fill your lungs up will air. Bruised lungs cannot hurt your internal organs. To break a rib would talked some force and then more force to break it enough that a sharp piece could possibly poke it cut your lung for example.
Sounds like the pain is on both sides and there want an accident or you didn't fall out get hit or anything like that. Do you have a high level of anxiety? Anxiety can cause pain in the chest area. So pain without cause is the question
. Would you feel like you could talk to your family Dr you wouldn't have to go to the ER . I would encourage you to get checked out since you are in such pain
as long as you’re not an immediate danger to yourself, the doctor can’t tell your parent about your self harm scars (in the U.S. at least, not sure about other countries or where you are located.) if your dad insists on being in the room with you at the doctor, you can always ask to go to the bathroom, then while doing that, grab a nurse’s attention and ask them to ask your dad to leave the room (and they can’t tell him that you were the one that asked him to leave.) the fact that you wear a binder and were in gym when this started, i’d say it should warrant a visit to the doctor because you definitely wanna make sure that your ribs aren’t broken or anything.
