I've had the same problem, and found out that I pulled the small muscles in between my ribs. I was ill with bronchitis and the continuous coughing and struggling to breathe (because I'm asthmatic too) had caused this to happen. Coughing a lot is a common cause of rib pain. Unless you've fallen and hurt yourself.
