Open Question: Sharp chest pains after cardio?
I am a 5′2 129lb. 20 year old girl whom has had a EKG and diagnosed with a heart murmur but was told it was not serious. However since I can remember I can never run very far or keep my heart beat up for long periods of time but I feel like I have the energy, but after a half a mile my chest gets tight and its hard to catch my breathe.
Today I had an hour exercise class, by the end I felt like my heart was very tight and it was having pins stabbed through it. And for the rest of the day my heart has felt sore, if thats possible? I was just wondering what could it be? Am i just making my heart work to hard?

Resolved Question: When is irregular heart sounds a concern?
My son (5) has been diagnosed with a sinus arythmia. He has had a heart monitor for 24 hours with no noticable concerns. He has also had a ecocardiogram, ultrasound of his heart, the works, and everything looked “within normal limits.” He complains that his “heart is pumping and it hurts.” His next option is to wear a monitor for a month and record these episods. The problem is he is also ADHD and had a developmentat genetic disorder so the likelihood of this being a successful venture is not likely. My father dropped dead at 48 and my mother flat-lined at the hospital at 42 but made a full recovery. With that dismal family history, I am very scared the docs are missing something. He has an appt. next month with the cardiologist. If nothing is determined, I am seeking a second opinion. Any words of wisdom about this?
