What Causes Chest Tighten Feeling While Exercising?
Hi, I am pretty healthy but I have been wanting to get back to exercising more so I started a few days ago again. Every time I start, after a couple of seconds, I start to feel my chest tighten, it almost feels like its very flemy in there. Anyway, after I stop, my chest (sternum area) makes a popping noise. I ve noticed these past couple days, though, that it is happening more frequent.

thanks for sharing your health concern with us!
well, it is just due to spasm of the related muscles or tendons around sternum!
however, there could be some subcutaneous emphysema due to collection of leaked out air during severe exercises!
whatever might be the case it just needs rest for cure!
all the best!
