Can be: Coughing profusely certainly can cause some pain in chest in back. If you feel it is heart in nature, please get it checked out. However, sometimes coughing can just cause sore muscles and joint aches from the constant chest expansion they are not used to. It can also cause herniated discs strangely enough, so if you have radiating pain, tell your doc.
