Run Fast Now Above Heart Is Sore, Clogged Arteries
Ran really fast & up 2 flights of stairs for about 4 minutes, wasn't out of breath or anything but right above my heart it hurts and I've been coughing deep like a smoker (never smoked) and it's an hour later and still sore with some coughing. Plus the base of my pharnyx is sore. I'm in really good shape, 5'7 and 140pds age 40 so are we talking clogged arteries here?

Hi.. The pain could just be a muscular ache, intercostal muscle... Severe exertion associated with heavy breathing may be the cause.. However, in the presence of other risk factors, cardiac evaluation is necessary..
Hello.Welcome to HCM forum.your history and symptoms suggest your problem to be related with your respiratory system and not cardiac in origin as you don't get breathless on climbing your stairs and that too fast.Get a hemogram and x-ray chest done and consult your physician.Thanks and good luck.
