I got a wound on my foot from a bike accident. It's not too deep, but it's really giving me trouble when I try to move around. Plus, there's pain and swelling in that area. Could you take a look and let me know what I should do about it?

I'm feeling pain under my breast and kind of in the lower chest area since this morning. It really hurts when I touch it and even more when I try to take a deep breath. I'm worried about what it could be, but with the current situation, I'm scared to go to the hospital for an X-ray or anything like that. I had the same issue last year, and it got better after taking calcium supplements. Can you suggest what I should do now?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.
