I just saw arc of light in my field of vision after i coughed hard?

That's normal: Unless it is recurrent/persistent and/or accompanied by new/worse floaters and/or part of your peripheral vision that goes missing (like a curtain or veil). If the latter is the case, then see an eye doctor, preferably a retina specialist.
