Chest Pain Up Exertion?
by NeMH, Feb 26, 2009 11:22AM
I am presenting with chest pains/pressure, lightheadedness, shortness of breath and very rapid heartbeat upon very mild exertion (literally a 30 second slow jog) I do not experience these symptoms any other time than exercise (occasionally I will get very out of breath when walking also) please give me some advice. I have asthma but im certain its not that because of how it feels.
Thanks...Im worried...

I would see a cardiologist as soon as possible. You are having exercised induced chest pains which usually means you need a stress test to check for blockages in your arteries or other heart related issues. I wouldn't totally discount your asthma as my friend has that and sometimes he is certain its his heart when its really his lungs giving him pain. But the rapid heartbeat and lightheadedness along with the pains point to your heart so see a cardiologist as soon as possible.
