What Causes Stabbing Pain In Chest During Work Out?

I work out on a daily basis but yesterday i was during sit-ups on my exercise ball. As soon as i went to lift up there was this stabbing pain in my chest. I can also feel it in my back adjacent to where the chest pain is. It hurts when i am trying to turn my neck as well.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
Your pain is mostly due to muscular spasm due to intense exercise. It is aggravated by movements and change of posture. So all these favour musculoskeletal pain more.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Avoid movements causing pain.
4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2-3 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
