chest pain while sprinting?

[PatBateman]

ok, just been lifting only for a while and today started cardio again. Did about 25 min moderate and then did a 3 min sprint on the treadmill. About 2 min in I got a tightness and dull pain in my left chest. I had no dizziness or tingling sensation. Is it just because the heart is also a muscle and mine isn't used to going that fast, I guess I should really start slow??

Sharp pain usually means gas. Never had dull pain.

Yeah, that's what sharp pains are. You sound like you hit it on the money Pat, probably gotta work yourself up to that. Or maybe you were being a lil' too strenuous on the heart after doing that weight lifting previously. Try doing cardio before, and make sure you didn't eat anything within the past hour.
