Lately I have been experiencing chest pain while running.
I have been coaching basketball and today I reffed for five hours.
I keep getting chest pain every once in a while that last even after i am finished activity. Like today after my basketball reffing my chest feels tight and hurts.
I have been taking a medication called Nifedipine that is usually used for chest pain and blood pressure problems. It is suppose to help dilate blood vessels. I am not taking this medication because of chest pain or blood pressure problems ( another issue instead ). I think exercising with this medication may be causing it because exercise dilates blood vessels and the meds are dilating the blood vessels. Maybe its just a case of OVERDILATION hehe ??
Do you ever experience chest pain during and after exercise ?
Do you think its normal ?
Or do you think it could be caused by the medication ?
I am going to see a vascular surgeon in two weeks but I am a bit worried in the meantime.
