Answers:
If you have been coughing a lot, you may have strained the connective tissue between your ribs. (I have done this more than once in asthmatic coughing fits). You may also have a chest infection (we asthmatics are prone to them) and you are feeling the constriction in your airways.

It would be best to consult a physician but in the mean time, you can find relief by putting some vic's vapor rub on your chest while sitting in a hot steamy bath. You might also try a heat compress on your chest or your back. Health Question & Answer
