Is Chest Pain While Running A Cause For Concern?

Hi, Im 23 and for the second time i have had chest pains while running, Im not a star runner but yesterday i completed 12 km, probably the most i have ever done, I have a fit physique and exercise regularily. the two pains occured months apart... should i be concerned? I had a test done at the hospital and they found no symptoms of a murmor or any other negative sign, could this be just a strained muscle? also i did not feel it this time during exercise it was several hours later after i had gone to bed. center of chest.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for cardiac chest pain as your work up for heart diseases in hospital was normal.
Yes, possibility of muscular spasm related chest pain is more likely.
So apply warm water pad and ice packs alternatively on painful area.
Avoid heavyweight lifting.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Continue exercise and running. No harm in it.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
