chest pain
Before you freak out it isn't cardiac pain. I started increasing my lifting weight back in May. Lifting as heavy as I can for 10 reps in an attempt to build bigger leaner muscles. My chest muscle had the quickest and the most noticable response to this change in lifting. For the past month I started to notice a vague discomfort mid sternum that felt more of a bone pain than muscle. I had an idea it was from the heavier weight but it didn't bother me too much and I didn't notice while I was lifting it was just every once in awhile I was aware of it. I am not even sure what it was that i would do that made me aware of the bone. A few weeks ago I became more aware of it and still thinking it was bone since that was where I felt it, very localized. However, after another heavy lifting chest day the pain moved to the right side of my chest. A vague pain right under by breast that radiated to the right shoulder and arm. After a rest day it went away. After another day of lifting it was back and much more noticable. When i take a deep breath I feel it, driving home from the gym and turning the steering wheel or shifting with my right arm I feel it, rolling back to lay down i feel a sharp pain, pushing myself up with my right arm will send a a sharp pain though my chest. The pain now it sharp during certain movements or otherwise just there and I am almost constantly aware of it now. I have never heard of anyone pulling a chest muscle but thinking this is probably what i have done. Any thoughts or heard of this before?
