What Causes Chest Pain While Running On A Treadmill?

Hi, while I was running on the treadmill before a workout at the gym today, I felt a strong pain near the center of my chest, slightly on the right side. Felt like it was my heart or lung or something. It was very localized, and did not shoot or radiate. The pain persisted for a few minutes after I finished running (it was a pretty intense run), then slowly subsided and disappeared as I lifted weights (less cardio intensive). Any idea what that might be?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After going through your medical details I understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that chest pain during treadmill grabs the attention as it can be cardiac which requires proper investigation. Kindly do not do intense activity which can trigger a chest pain again and get an ECG, echocardioraphy and treadmill test done for proper cardiac evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
