Chest Pain/Burning?
Quote | Reply
I went to see a pulmonolgist recently due to boughts of coughing. I mentioned that when I was running/swimming I had this burning chest pain that radiated to my neck. It's like when you do an all out sprint and your chest/lungs hurt..it's like that. The only thing is..i'm not working HARD at all!
So, he thought it might be angina and scheduled me for a stress test.
Stress test came back very good, cardiologist is happy.
Dr. wants to set me up next for a lung function test next week.

Has anyone ever experienced such a thing?? Why the pain/burning like I just ran a 400m all out sprint??
Thanks

I'll throw my two cents in since I am currently sidelined with a heart problem. Last weekend I went out for a run and had burning chest pain. Told my husband I had reflux so bad I couldn't run and would see the doc on Monday. Well I ended up in the ER at 5 am with severe chest pain, couldn't lie down, could hardly walk because the pain increased so much. After many tests, they diagnosed me with pericarditis. Cardiologist said rest and ibuprofen, no exercise:( really sucks but should be better soon
