Could be - feel along the circumference of the rib if you are able to see if it gets more tender anywhere - it is hard to miss if you broke a rib - it is very painful to lie on or breathe. But it could also be other things related to lungs, etc - worth getting checked out.

Have you done something that could have broken a rib? It could be pneumonia or a collapsed lung. Could be a muscle. That's what doctors are for, go to one.
