Symptoms of Cracked Ribs. Common symptom of cracked ribs is a severe chest pain. The pain worsens with deep breathing, coughing, laughing and moving. This pain should not be ignored because it may indicate perforation of the lungs which is a dangerous condition and requires immediate treatment.
Broken rib - If the injury is in the left rib cage, then this can cause an explosive pain in left side under ribs, especially while breathing deeply. It can be diagnosed by taking chest x - rays. Pneumothorax - The lungs collapse due to a rupture in the lung membrane and the air leaks out to the cavity between the lungs and the rib cage causing pain under the rib areas.
