Hi. I`m 24 yo male. I`m a runner and recently I have experienced some sort of a sharp, stabbing pain in my chest, while running. It feels like some sort of a bubble ready to burst. When the pain comes, I try to catch my breath and not to breathe in or breathe out too much because it’s really very painful either way. After that, the pain is gone. What is this pain that I feel? Is it my heart?

Hi. Well, many people mistakenly believe that they are having a heart attack, but it only seems like the heart. I have experienced such sharp, stabbing pain in my chest and my doc has told me that it is not a heart attack. It is not even heart related. I was diagnosed with precordial catch syndrome (PCS). It is the most common cause of recurring chest pain. This sharp stabbing pain causes you to not want to move or breathe. The actual cause is unknown so far, but there is no danger, however. Anyway, people experiencing PCS need no treatment at all.

I had this problem from childhood and had seen a doc about it. He assured me that its not a problem. But my pain usually goes away within a minute. If it persists you must see a doc.

Sometimes when I run I sh*t in my pants. It starts with some acute, relieving farts but eventually turns into a mobile mudslide. Its rather embarrassing and I cant even tell when its coming. Ive never had chest pain while running but this relates because when I sniff my Jockeys after the shitasstrophy I feel like Im going to have a heart attack!
honestly, I lol'd when I read this. Surely you're joking...
if this is PCS, then you might want to try taking a deep breath after stopping next time it happens. I stop, then prepare myself for a deep breath, and when I take the deep breath that's the last of my pain.

Hi I experience this too but not in my heart, sometimes after an extended amount of time playing football usually I get a sharp pain in my right lung.

That was an interesting experiment pawelski, if it actually works then many would be benefitted from it. Unfortunately, I myself, have no idea about it.

I had the same pain after doing hot yoga for the first time. I am only 21 and I thought I was having a heart attack. I immediately got myself checked at the doctor's and they told me it was just a muscle strain in the chest. Reminder: your heart is a muscle too. Just like any other muscle, when you strain it too much, it will hurt! Maybe try to reduce the intensity of your workouts.

You most likely got a severe form of ETAP, a type of pain caused from over straining yourself during a run, I suggest drinking lots of water, preferably Smart Water because it has the electrolytes needed along with the detoxifying sensation you get from pure water.

I am not out of shape or in shape
I like to run but I can't due to this problem
In about 2 and a half weeks I am going to have echo and cardio-echo exams taken to see when my heart starts to hurt and to see whats wrong so I guess i should show them this
