What Causes Breathing Difficulty After Chest Trauma?

My ex punched me in the middle of the chest, just between my breasts. When I push on it it hurts and whenever I move my upper body it hurts. It is not bruised but when it happened I had difficulty breathing and I still have a sharp pain after a night of sleep. Do I need to consult?
