While your doing concentrated exercise for a particular muscle ,there are many other muscles that co-contration to support your posture .Barbell curl needs a great effort on thoracic muscles to support ur body against gravity and resistance.
You could probably have got a "spasmodic muscle" response from the continuous muscle action .
Next Steps
Gentle stretching of thoracic and pectoral muscles followed by soft tissue release with definitely help you .
hot fomentation and local application of some pain relieving ointment will also help
Health Tips
Stop heavy lifting until cured.
See a Physiotherapist if not relived in 2 days .
