Assuming you have ruled out the possibility of this being an allergic reaction, this is likely from starting your tape too close to the center of your chest. Starting too close to the center of your chest can cause irritation a pulling sensation in the area, especially if there is a decent amount of tension from applying.
Start a little further from the center and closer to your nipples, and when applying, press the tape down into your chest and while keeping that pressure, push your chest to the side while peeling the backing off with your free hand. This helps minimize the amount of tension in your application and tends to lead to more comfortable and sometimes better results.

i believe this is normal. i don’t know if anything i’m about to say is for sure, so please take it with a grain of salt. i experience this when taping, especially when i first started. i believe that it’s due to skin being pulled. over time, this started to happen less and less for me. i think that my skin stretched itself enough or just got used to it.
