EXERCISE

INTRODUCTION

• Chest pain has become a common medical condition
  and the second highest cause of Emergency room.
  Chest pain serves as the initial symptom of
  several diseases.
• The heart specialists in Bangalore have
  researched the possible reasons for chest pain
  during exercise as follows

• Muscle Strain or Injured rib
• During exercise, one flexes his muscles and in
  case of strain in muscles, one may observe
  inflammation of muscles. The strain around the
  tendons of the rib results in chest pain during
  exercise. In case of any injury near the rib such
  as breaks, fracture or bruise may result in chest
  pain. 
• Peptic Ulcer
• Peptic ulcers (ulcers on the lining of the
  stomach) may result in recurring discomfort and
  pain around the chest. The instant remedy to it
  is gulping an antacid that is available in the
  nearby pharmacy.

• Problem in heart
• When it comes to chest pain, the first thing
  every common people relates to is a heart
  problem. Heart attack, medically termed as
  myocardial infarction is the most common reason
  for chest pain. The medical condition where the
  coronary artery is blocked and the heart loses
  oxygen is referred to as a heart attack. 
• Another reason for chest pain is Angina Pectoris
  which occurs due to a lack of blood supply in the
  heart region. The chest pain due to Angina may
  often be mistaken as a heart attack. Hypertrophic
  Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is common disease-inducing
  chest pain. In this disease, the cells of the
  heart enlarge thickening the walls of the
  ventricles of the heart.
• There are several heart hospitals in Bangalore
  that take care of all the heart-related diseases
  and provide emergency services in case of extreme
  chest pain.

• Problems in the Lungs
• Asthma is the most common medical condition these
  days. In the case of asthma, chest pain occurs as
  the pathways of air into the lungs are affected
  in this medical condition. Exercise triggers the
  inflamed airways into the lungs, making it
  difficult for the person to breathe and induce
  intolerable chest pain.
• Chest pain may occur due to lung infection (such
  as Pneumonia), Pleurisy (inflammation of the
  covering of the lungs) or collapsed lungs.
• Problem in Esophagus
• One may experience chest pain due to oesophagal
  spasms/ contraction, hypersensitivity of the food
  pipe or rupture of oesophagus/food pipe.
• These are the possible reasons related to the
  oesophagus that can lead to chest pain.

• Hiatal Hernia 
• Hiatal Hernia is the medical condition where the
  top of the stomach pushes itself up into the
  chest. This is a common state that induces Chest
  pain as well as heartburn and symptoms of
  GERD(Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). 
• Panic Attack 
• While the above problems focus only on physical
  problems, we should also consider the role of
  mental health in case of chest pain. Some people
  experience chest pain when they are in a state of
  panic under certain circumstances. Anxiety attack
  or trauma due to emotional reasons may lead to
  chest pain.

Chest pain may occur due to minor reasons like
inflammation or rib injury as well as serious
conditions like heart attack,hiatal hernia which
requires serious medical attention. As the
muscles are stressed during exercise, there is a
greater chance of chest pain. One may follow some
precautions to prevent chest pain during
exercises such as eating a balanced diet,
exercising regularly, avoiding tobacco and
alcohol, taking proper medication for high blood
pressure and asthma.
