Hi,

I am 25 years of old.I am a Software Professional.I do exercise regularly.

1) At times I feel some severe chest pain.At first it was paining in the right side of my chest.after some months i felt the same pain slightly right side of the place where i felt earlier.The pain will increase if I change my body position or If I raise my hands. Sometimes I feel the same pain when I sneeze.

2) I feel some long breath or long Gasp,If I walk faster or I use the staircase.

Are these two symtoms are related? what might be the problem? Pls help me out.

The pain you are having is likely not cardiac.  Pain that is positional or made worse by a deep breath is generally not from the heart and could be musculoskeletal.  This type of pain may respond to ibuprofen or tylenol.
