Answers:
It hurts when you hold your breath because you are taking a deep breath before you hold it, putting more pressure on the injury!. It is very likely that you have a rib fracture!. If it doesn't get better, you need to get an x-ray!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

could be anything!.!.!.could just be a pulled muscle/several muscles from the impact!. You have muscles that run along all of your ribs and those can cause a lot of pain if they are stretched!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to go to see a Doctor asap!. Don't delay, it sounds serious!. Take care of yourself!. Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
