neave Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Alright chaps, I'm looking for a wee bit of advice/diagnosis from all you budding doctors out there. I would go to my own but it's all the way in Stirling and I don't want to bother him about something which may be absolutely nothing. The past 3 or 4 times I've gone for a run, I've developed a sharp, crushing sort of pain on the right side of my chest; just a little to the top right of where my heart would be if it was on the right side of my chest. The pain gets progressively worse until I have to stop running as it's too much to bear and it feels like my lung or muscles or whatever are being crushed. When I stop, I often have difficulty breathing sufficiently, as the pain when my chest expands really is quite considerable and I have to resort to short, sharp breaths. It takes about a minute or two of slow walking or not moving altogether to go away and, when I start running again, comes back after about a minute, and the stop/start cycle has to be repeated. The strange thing is, the pain has started to develop earlier and earlier each time I've started running, with it starting after only about 25/30 minutes today (I usually run for about 60-80). I like to think I keep myself relatively fit: I run about 10-15 miles a week, do sit-ups every other day and eat relatively healthily so this is getting a bit concerning. Surely it's not just a stitch? Any advice is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercrutch Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I run regularly myself. If I was experiencing chest pain like that during excercise I would head off to the A & E as soon as possible. Don't mess about with that sort of thing. Could be an underlying problem. It will probably just be muscle pain as you say but not worth just assuming it is nothing. If this happened to a footballer they would be off to hospital in minutes for a check up. Just because you are not a pro doesn't mean you shouldn't do the same. Get into the A & E. They will give you a once over. ECG, blood samples etc.. and you should have peace of mind. You will feel like a bit of a **** (Did it myself) but will be well chuffed once you know nothing is wrong. And your national insurance means you pay for all this so you are not taking the mick. Trust me: 3 or 4 hours of feeling like a **** sitting in a hospital is well worth it. Clear bill of health does wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I wouldn't go to an A+E because it's neither an accident nor an emergency. Make an appointment with your doctor though and avoid strenuos excercise until you do. In fact, go and register at a nearby doctor and see them. That's what i'd do.

neave Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks for the replies, lads. Particularly to CC: I've been PMed by someone who's directed me to a something which entirely sums up my symptoms, so a Doctor's appointment is pretty much a must as it certainly looks like I have something. I'll give them a phone tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I had a sore chest once and walked into the A & E simply just to ask what I should do. They strapped me up straight away and did all the jobs on me. They have also had an ad campaign recently stating if you have ANY sort of chest pain or tightness to call 999 immediately. It is chest pain we are talking about here - and last time I wanted to get a doctors appointment I waited for almost 2 weeks !!! Maybe the OP should call up NHS 24, that is what they are there for I suppose !! 08454 242424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have a cracked rib neave. Your body tries to heal it and then when you go running it gets ***d again without you giving it a chance to heal properly. 6 weeks of no hardcore CV should do the trick.

Sharpie Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 as a reformed deny it it may go away, and find a million excuses to divert the truth from being faced, do not hesitate in getting professional medical advice for anything that bothers you especially if it scares you. In a past life I attended many calls where the same statement was made. He/she had a wee pain in her/his chest, they just had a wee cup of tea and lay down for a while. Last cup of tea, never got up again. Never be afraid to ask for attention from a medic, and always remember early diagnosis is a life saver.

No harm in it. That is what they are there for afterall...... But apparently a crushing sharp pain in your chest when you exercise - that leaves you breathless, unable to move, with shallow breathing and is getting worse and worse is not an emergency................
