See your doctor: Your symptoms may be signs of something significantly wrong. One cannot tell without a complete history, physical and possible lab/imaging tests. Follow with your doctor as soon as you can. Things that can cause pains in chest and ribcage include heartburn, pneumonia, gallbladder problems, liver disease, kidney problems, heart attacks, or blood clots.

Wind knocked out: If it "just" happened, then it is likely your diaphragm is upset by the fist-related insult it just suffered. If it has been more than about 30 minutes and you still are having sharp pains and problems breathing, then need to go to er for evaluation asap.
