Bruised sternum or possibly worse?

I got in a friendly wrestling match with a friend 5 nights ago (drinking of course).
I then received a bad pain in the middle of my chest (assuming it was bruised from his dead weight on it). I had a very hard time breathing.

Now, it seems the left side of my chest hurts most (where my heart is) from the painful breathing. Could it be something worse than just a bruise now? I have trouble sleeping, cannot laugh, or sneeze/cough, sometimes it even hurts to talk.
 
It sounds like you bruised or fractured a rib. Next time pick a aifght with a smaller friend! ;) In the interest of safety, go into your family doc and get an x-ray to make sure you haven't done any serious damage...and I mean with the fighting, not drinking...:D
