Jogging issues

itecson

This morning was the first time I've ever experienced chest pain while jogging, I've never had something like this happen. I'd rate the pain level at maybe a 4/10. I stopped because I was worried. I started jogging before work two weeks ago.

Is this common/can anyone relate? I didn't do any exercise these past two days - does this have something to do with it?

The weird thing is that when I hold my breath, and "gulp" in more air - to expand my lungs - it feels better, not that the pain goes away, but it feels like it alleviates some of it. I'm going to schedule an appointment w/ my doctor, but I just want to see if anyone else can relate to this. Here's what I do on a daily basis:

My weekday routine (one of the following):
a)Morning: 3 miles jogging, >12mph; After work: 1.5 hrs of hiking >10lb load; stretching before/after
b)Morning: 3 miles jogging, >12mph; After work: 1.5-2 hrs surfing; stretching before/after
c) After work: 1.5 hrs of hiking; evening 4 miles jogging, 45 mins of: push/pull ups and gravity boot exercises; stretching before/after

Weekends:
a) surfing, 2-4 hrs
b) hiking 8-14 hrs <30lb load

Thanks in advance.

Yikes! that's kind of scary. i'd expect it for someone like me who isn't active but you're always active! is the VOG bad lately (i haven't checked the weather in a few days) I know last time the vog was bad and I ran i had a really hard time....but i think it's def something you should get checked out! Keep us posted.

This happened to my husband a couple of times and it turned out to be a pinched nerve in the chest cavity area. But I think you are wise to get it checked out anyway. Good luck.

Sounds like heartburn?
