Pain in chest due to heavy fall

Question

Asked for Male, 28 Years

Dear Sir/Ma'am, I got a very heavy blow on my chest while falling down on the bathroom floor, where a tap was hit on my chest. I am experiencing chest pain for past 3-4 days since the impact. I got my chest x-ray done which is attached here for reference. Can you see any problems in the xray? Is there any possibility of pneumothorax? I need to take a flight tomorrow, is it safe to travel with this pain? Thank You Kunal Kalra
