What Causes Sudden Pain In Back And Chest While Running?
I am a 50 yo healthy female with bmi of 20. I was running and felt pain suddenly in my back in the mid line radiating to right at my bra line. This is tolerable but uncomfortable. However I developed spasm all over my back that was horrible. This got better with steroids and resting the best I could (not lifting etc). I did well for a month and then the pain and spasm started again. I have not had mri only chest X-ray (because it was hard to breath given spasm). Chest film was normal.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sudden pain in back and chest while running .well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like angina , muscle spasm , wrong pose , disc problem or acid reflux . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper diagnosis and to rule out more serious condition . Doctor may order ECG, TMT , troponin t test along with complete blood profile . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for muscle spasm and disc problem or to gastroenterologist for acid reflux problem .For now try to maintain appropriate pose , apply warm compresses to chest and back , avoid running for few days and eat light and non spicy specially before exercises and going to bed .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
