Brief: Detailed: Hello Thank You for contacting HCM. Welcome to Health Care Magic. My name is Dr Muhammad Ahmad & i will look into your problem. I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. I understand your concern and being a Cardiology resident myself, i will hereby try to talk about differentials for your better understanding and alleviating the anxiety you must be in. Cardiac pain: 1- They are NEVER sharp pain they are dull pains like soar muscles or a compression. 2-They start with work out and go away as you are at rest. 3- When its paining they in most case get relieved by a nitroglycerin tab under tongue. 4- Regular work out cardiac pains (angina) usually show up in stress testing. 5- They are very rarely present in men below 40. 6- Cardiac pain don t change with stretch or position change as yours is changing. My opinion: I must congratulate you on you determination and successful weight loss you are going through and i want to assure you that this doesn t look like a cardiac issue , this is due to your exercise and ass muscles get stronger and you lose weight, this issue is going to resolve by itself. SUGGESTIONS: I will suggest you to do exercise in right way under a good trainer, eat good and work out to make your muscles stronger and with time you will notcie that you are doing better than before.
