Avatar n tn in a young or middle-aged person, able to run 3 miles, would be exercise-induced asthma, the symptoms often occurring shortly after exercise, rather than during the exercise. Heart burn/indigestion is often a sign of acid reflux from the stomach, which can occur at rest or with exercise, and is often associated with asthma.
Avatar n tn It has been always five weeks since I was discharged from hospital now and since then I have developed chest tightness in the central region each time I take a deep breath. I also notice that I now feel tire easily and can't do any strenous work as my chest area feel kind of tight and tender. The latest x-ray results (two days ago) showed nothing and the nurse told me that my lungs are all clear. But right now as I write, I feel something not normal with my chest as it feels tight.
Avatar m tn My problem is that I experience chest pain/throat tightness (not burning) that is sometimes accompanied by belching after exercising (playing hockey or even just washing my car). It is usually accompanied by fatigued. It started about 6 mos ago to varying degrees of discomfort. About 3 weeks ago, it was so uncomfortable that I went to the ER. I was admitted, given an ekg, and stress ultrasound (took a total of 15min, got my HR to 197bpm). Results came back negative.
Avatar m tn Needless to say, several days after that, I started noticing chest tightness again. And some indigestion symptoms came back as well. But this time instead of going to the doctor again, I decided to take things into my own hands and selectively, over a period of several weeks, started eliminating some foods that I thought were causing me abdominal discomfort (dairy, fats, wheat gluten, spices, etc.). This helped a lot to bring the bloating, burping etc.
Avatar f tn s the total opposite - you need an exercise that is relaxful like Yoga, Pilates or simply stretching and breathing exercise. I, personally switch back and forth based on the tightness in my chest. If there's is tightness, I do the chill-out routine otherwise I'm cardio and heavy weight training.
Avatar n tn My body is really starting to react different to the exercise latley. I know that some of my chest discomfort is muscle aches.
Avatar m tn I am a 21 year old female. I had pneumonia over Christmas and ever since then I have been experiencing a "ticking clock" type of sound after I exercise. I notice it at the end of my exercise when I lean forward and bend over to stretch. It sounds like a rapid ticking noise coming from my chest area. My dad has mitral valve prolapse but he has never heard of the ticking sound sensation. I also have experienced pressure in my lower throat area.
Avatar n tn The exercise trainer at the gym I frequent states calf tightness can also be symptomatic of weakness elsewhere in the leg. If your glutes and/or hamstrings are weak, your calves will often try to make up for that weakness, which means the muscle gets overused, which in turn exacerbates calf tightness.
Avatar n tn I'd tell her to go to her doctor and tell him/her about the chest pain/tightness in chest she is getting during or after her exercise. I would tell her that until you get a slip from the doctor telling you that she can continue to exercise despite her chest pain you cannot exercise with her anymore until you get the reassurance from her doctor. I would not worry about whether this will not do her any favors.
Avatar f tn For the past 2 weeks, whenever I exercise my chest hurts, before I had some chest discomfort, now it hurts, and it aches for a while after I am done exercising. My breathing is ok, I think I'm just short of breath because I'm exercising,is that normal for an overweight person? Please let me know, I don't have medical insurance and really can't afford to go back, thanks.
Avatar m tn ve had several ekgs done and all were negative, but the tightness contiuned so i had an exercise stress EKG test with ECHO imaging and everything came back normal. My BP was high but I believe thats because I was REALLY nervous during the testing. Still after all this I still seem to feel this tightness. I would not describe this as pain but as just discomfort. What gives? Do I have angina? If not, then what? Should i go in for further testing?
Avatar m tn I have a strange tightness in my chest right below my sternum. I would describe it as the feeling you get when you swallow a chip that might have been a little too large. Details below.... I've been suffering through what I would call chronic heartburn for years now. My Dr prescribed prevacid and that has successfully treated the symptoms. Ive been taking about 1 pill a day and symptoms return promptly if I forget to take a dose.
Avatar f tn Within a few days of arriving in the UK, I began to experience a mild chest tightness that wouldnt ease with taking asthma inhalers. i suffered with the tightness for about the first 4 weeks of my 5 week hoilday there. it was strange because after 4 weeks of continous tightness, one morning i woke up and it felt as if a large weight had been lifted from my chest and it felt as though i could breath freely and normally as i did in the past. I was happy!
Avatar m tn Hello, I am about 6 weeks out of recovery from bronchitis, seemingly from pollutants and/or possibly second hand smoke. The case of bronchitis was fairly severe, and while being tested was also discovered I have a stiff heart (diastolic dysfunction stage II). My doctors have instructed me to keep exercising, however I have found something peculiar and alarming. I can do boxing/kickboxing for 1-2 hours at a time, and I feel great.
Avatar m tn You do not describe any of the classic symptoms of true heart attack, apart from a sensation of mild (I assume) chest tightness. IOW, you didn't feel as though an elephant was sitting on your chest; you don't describe faintness or nausea; you were able to continue walking after your run; and you are not phsically disabled even now in any noticeable way. 3. You are aware that the experience of seeing someone in the grip of a heart attack may have triggered anxiety in you.
Avatar m tn Recently (about a month or so ago) I tried to start again, and noticed that I was feeling tightness in my chest while doing pushups or any exercises with my head bent over, or where I had to bend over. Last year I had an echocardiogram done because my doctor heard a palpitation during a routine checkup. Afterwards, in the next school year, during september, I had another echocardiogram done and a stress test. All the tests came back clean.
Avatar f tn When I feel an asthma attack coming on, I feel short of breath, cant finish a sentence, chest tightness, tired, and all of my muscles ache really bad.. does anyone else have this?
Avatar f tn Also, sense you are getting knots in your right chest, if it happens particularly after eating fatty or other foods that are hard on a gallbladder, ask for an abdominal ultrasound to take a look at your gall bladder and duct work. With the knot in right chest, pressure and tightness, did they probe for a tender spot in your chest?
Avatar m tn For quite some time (months) I have been experiencing a weird sensation on my left shoulder that comes and goes. In the past few weeks I have been experiencing bouts of chest tightness, shortness of breath, faint feeling (even when BP has been normal), severe fatigue and I also get more exhausted just from regular walks than I did few months ago. I have been in ER during my chest pain episode but ECG has been normal as has been chest xray and blood markers.
Avatar f tn When I went to the doctor, he told me I was just nervous about the wedding, and it would go away after the wedding. He was right. However, I remember that chest tightness being in the center of my chest, not on the left side. Do you think this is a heart related condition or just stress? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I started to work out at around April time, just ten minutes here and there. My BMI was 30, and I'd got sick of being the 'big' one all the time, so I decided to make some lifestyle changes. One morning, I experienced what I now know was a panic attack. It began a few minutes after I woke, with chest pain. At the time, I wondered if I'd suddenly developed asthma or something else but then it didn't happen again.
Avatar n tn I am a 29 year old who has been having chest tightness for about 3 days with a headache that comes and goes. I went to an urgent care for them to tell me nothing except that my vital signs are healthy, take no xrays, take no blood, etc. They prescribed me an inhaler thinking that it was an allegarine asthma. IT hasn't helped so far. When I work out, it doesn't bother me anymore. I am not short of breath; however, to take a deep breath takes a little more effort.
Avatar n tn as you might have saw in previous post.I was experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath mostly while just walking....my echo came back 100% and my 24 holter i had only 1 pvc in 24 hours so what i wanted to know do these test see if a person has signs of cad or heart failure are they good markers if something was on those test would they be able to determine heart blockage!Thanks!
Avatar m tn t eat much and not sleeping well, reason why was that i was worried about pain that was in my testicle but found out that is was a epidyimal cyst and that it was nothing to worry about. Now i am back to my routine and seem to be having some chest tightness. I am wondering if it was from all the stress i was putting myself under or is it probably from my ablation and it is just healing? Idk I go see the doctor who performed my ablation on friday.
Avatar f tn Hi i had a heart attack 3 months ago. first 6 weeks were ok but now i get tight chest and cry a lot and feel like im having another attack.
