See a DR ASAP: Trauma, chest soreness and pain on breathing can indicate a broken rib and could be a hallmark of something more serious (lung puncture, lung collapse) It would be prudent to see a Dr so that they can take an xray and listen to your heart and lungs to determine if something serious is going on.
