Possibly : Yes, it is likely a sign of muscle strain/spasm. But, there are also other potential causes. If you've done recent heavy lifting/strenuous exercise, had a cold wherein you coughed a lot, etc, then this is very much possible. If you are having any chest pain, shortness of breath, or fever, however, you should see a doctor ASAP. Best wishes.

I woke up with a sore chest. No caughing or sinus. The chest pain went away after a day but moved to the back/my right shoulder blade and my arm is numb. I noticed that it is more difficult to breath and it hurts when I try to breath deep.
