What Causes Central Chest Pain On Exercising?

I'm a healthy 40 year old female..delivered a baby 4 months ago. I just resumed an exercise routine. Ran/walked 5K on treadmill 5 days ago. Ever since, I have intermittent (several per day) sharp "twinges" of pain in center of chest between breasts. I'm wondering if this is more likely a strain or could be cardiac symptom

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more because you have to started exercise and running after long break.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
