Is It Ok To Run With Pain In Chest?
The past week or so I have been having pain in my chest. I had a doctors appointment today so I asked the doctor about it. he told me that I have costochondritis and he gave me some pain meds to take the for next 3 or 4 days. I have also been putting heat on it. I am preparing for a half marathon in a couple weeks so I run a lot. I didn t think to ask if it s okay for me to run or if I need to wait until it stops hurting. Will it be ok if I run or should I wait?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Yes, you can definitely run. But don't forget to take medicines regularly.
And during marathon if you feel worsening pain or unbearable pain then stop running and consult doctor.
Also get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause.
At present no need to worry much. You can run half marathon.
