Is it common to have chest pain after bench press?

Yesterday, I started my rep by doing bench press at 155lb. Accidentally, I bounced the bar off my chest a few time and now I have chest pain. I do feel a bit of a sharp pain on the center right side of my chest but more intense when I cough or sneeze…. PLEASE HELP!

no, this is not common.
maybe you should see a doctor about this pain in your chest, if it persists, as it may be serious.
but it may just be an injury because you’ve bounced the bar off of your chest a few times.
