Experiencing chest pain after exercise does make panic, because the symptoms are similar to a heart attack.What must be known, the cause of pain can be due to stomach acid or muscle injury.
Dr.Samuel Sudanawidjaja, Sp.JP, FIHA, FSCAI as a doctor of the heart and blood vessels of Mayapada Hospital Surabaya reminded that it is important to recognize differences in symptoms so that the pain can be handled from the beginning.He said, chest pain when exercising is often experienced due to injury to the chest muscles and chest walls (costochondritis) from repeated movements.
“The pain feels sharp, especially when the chest is pressed or takes deep breath,” said Dr.Samuel.
In some cases, chest pain can also be caused by heart problems, such as sitting winds (angina) or heart attacks, which occur when the heart muscle lacks oxygen due to disrupted blood flow.
For chest pain due to the heart, symptoms can generally be a sense of depressed, tightness, or pain spread to the left arm, which usually improves at rest.
However, chest pain does not always come from the heart.Digestive disorders, such as stomach acid (GERD), can also be a trigger, especially if physical activity after eating, marked the sensation of burning in the chest (heartburn) that spreads into the throat.
“This condition is not directly related to the work of the heart and is usually not accompanied by shortness of breath or dizziness, but often accompanied by flatulence, excessive belchs, or a sense of begah,” said Dr.Samuel.
Although both cause chest pain, there is a distinctive difference between heart problems and GERD.Doctor Samuel explained, chest pain due to the heart usually appears when exercising and subside when the activity is stopped.
“While the pain due to GERD appears more often after eating or when lying down, and can be reduced when sitting upright or after taking antacids,” he said.
Chest pain should be watched out when the pain is severe, or like pressed and spread to the left arm, jaw, or back.Doctor Samuel asserted, in this condition, pain sufferers must immediately seek medical help.
“Also note if complaints are accompanied by shortness of breath, cold sweat, or dizziness, especially if it does not improve even though it has been resting or occurs to those of you who have a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes,” said Dr.Samuel.
Although you need to be vigilant, chest pain when exercising can be prevented.Before exercising, give a gap 1.5-2 hours after a large meal so that digestion is not burdened, then warm up enough.
Then, make sure to drink enough water, and do not force the body, especially if you are not accustomed to intense physical activity.No less important, do regular examinations, especially for those who have a heart history or digestion to detect potential disorders early on.
