Your symptoms merit a visit to your doctor for a careful exam to rule out rib fracture, blood in the pleural space and possible heart trauma.

Most likely rib cartilidge cracking at stenum rib joints. May hurt for awhile when you move a certain way. If it does dont move that way. Will take a week or more to get better. Some pain meds may help.
