Athletes such as boxers, football players and lacrosse players often receive hard hits to their chests, which can bruise or fracture their ribs and cause intense pain.
Injury to the chest as well as constant, repetitive movement with intense training can also cause costochondritis , an inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone. Precordial catch syndrome causes sharp localized pains that strike during deep breathing, most often in young adults.
While the condition is benign, the cause is unclear. Athletes are often high achievers, competitive and motivated.
These conditions can result in spikes in heart rate or blood pressure as well as hyperventilation rapid deep breathing , which can contribute to chest pains. Stimulants such as caffeine, which are found in many energy drinks, can also speed up the heart, increase blood pressure and contribute to the problem.
Athletes are at increased risk of gastrointestinal GI issues that cause chest pains. This can be related to the way you eat, what you eat and how you exercise. In response to training, the small muscular band sphincter around the bottom of your esophagus can relax, allowing food and acid in your stomach to rise into your esophagus and cause a burning sensation.
Also, tensing your abdominal muscles during exercise increases the pressure in your stomach, thereby forcing your stomach contents up into your esophagus. Your working muscles usually generate energy aerobically i. The harder you work, the bigger the build-up of lactic acid. The fitter you are, however, the better your body will be at clearing the lactic acid, so eventually you'll be able to train harder for longer.
Serious athletes train to push through intense burning, but Ms Ryan says for us mere mortals, continue as long as you're able to breathe regularly and aren't feeling any pain in your joints or sharp twinges in your muscles. If you've ever done a gruelling workout after you've had some time off from exercise, chances are you were feeling a bit sore and sorry for yourself a few days after. This is called delayed-onset muscle soreness DOMS , and is your body's way of letting you know you've done something it's not used to.
Although sitting on the couch until it goes away is appealing, the best way to overcome DOMS is with light exercise. Getting the level of exercise just right to prevent excessive discomfort might take a bit of trial and error. You'll still get great benefits without doing the whole range of movement.

Exercise is really, really important. Discomfort versus pain Carly Ryan, exercise physiologist at Exercise and Sports Science Australia, says it's important to differentiate between "pain" and "discomfort" when working up a sweat. Your doctor may ask about your history and do a physical exam. Suspected EIB will be confirmed with objective testing.
Since most people with EIB do not have symptoms without exercise, you may be asked to exercise and then have your breathing tested. The first type of drug used is usually a short-acting inhaler such as albuterol.
These types of inhaler medications are sometimes referred to as "rescue medications. If you have more severe asthma or if rescue medications are not working, you may need to take a "controller medication. As fuel demands increase -- particularly in sustained, high-intensity aerobic activities such as running, cycling, or swimming -- both the rate and depth of breathing increase as the body strives to supply more oxygen to the working muscles.
As a result, many people experience a burning sensation in their lungs and windpipe and may become alarmed. A variety of factors affect the degree to which people experience this sensation.
If you are new to exercising or coming back from a long layoff, your body is not yet accustomed to the rigors of intense activity, causing you to breathe harder when exerting energy.
When you breathe through your mouth and not just your nose, as you must do when exercising hard, the air rushing toward your lungs tends to dry the mucus membranes in your mouth and bronchial passages, resulting in irritation and a burning sensation. With improved conditioning, you will adapt to this and feel less irritation, and the sensation, while distracting, is rarely anything to be concerned about, though you should consult a doctor to be safe.
