What Causes Tightness In Chest And Fast Heart Rate After Running?
Hello, Could be related to a strained muscle and lack of regular physical activity, especially considering the fact that you are overweight. Coming to this point, I recommend having some rest and taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the pain. If this problem repeats, I would recommend performing an exercise cardiac stress test. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
