I don't think it's your heart. Sound like it's just you chest, but it's completly normal, you can sprain muscles from coughing too hard. I know it feel more serious then it is, but I went to the doctor for the same thing and she said to give it a couple days.

Take some ibuprofen or tylenol. Sip on cool liquids to soothe your throat and hopefully ease the cough. Make sure you have moisture in your room when you sleep...either a cool mist humidifier or place some pots of water near the heat vents to moisturize the air.
You may need a stronger cough medicine, something containing codeine, if OTC cough syrups aren't helping. The strongest OTC cough med is Delsym, but that doesn't help the worst coughs.
Most likely it is not your heart hurting. It could be your chest muscles, your esophagus might be a bit inflammed from the viral infection, or you could have a touch of bronchitis. If you feel badly on Monday, give your doc a call.

Well,sweetie its not your heart ,it just feel like that. You probably have a chest cold. The cold is on your chest causing u to cough and the coughing just making your chest hurts worse. It sound like u have a chest wall infection from the cold. U need to go to the doctor to get something for it. Don't let poeple on here scare u up.
