Why Does It Hurt To Expand My Chest?

I worked yesterday and used my upper back but now my chest feels like I have rope wrapped around it make it hard to expand my chest. I also pulled my arms up and tried to twist side to side with only my upper torso and it hurts really badly! Is this normal? If so is it just from soreness or something else?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal cause is more.
Your symptoms are after your physical work and exertion.
So muscular pain and spasm cause soreness and tightness in chest.
So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
