Upper right chest pain after 10 min jogging!
by Adamson, Oct 20, 2009 11:09AM
I am 28 going on 29 yrs. Where I live, is now hot and now mostly humid. I go jogging every other night to avoid the sun heat. After 10-15 min of speed walking or light jogging, I get right upper chest pain. It feels slightly tight, with a sharp pain. So I slow down immediately, and after 2-3 min of slow walking I feel much better. Then I continue to speed walking or jogging, and this time pain doesn't come back again. I am thinking it might be the heat or the humidity causing me to feel short of breath and these chess pains. I remember however feeling the same when I used the treadmill indoors. I don't experience any pain when I do any other type of exercise indoors. What is going on?
Thank you for your time.
Cheers.

Right upper chest pains is atypical, albeit still possible, for possible cardiac causes. More typical would be a musculoskeletal cause.
To evaluate for heart conditions, an EKG and echocardiogram can be discussed with your personal physician or cardiologist.
Once excluded, you can evaluate for possible muscular causes, in conjunction with a physical therapy referral.
