Tight feeling in chest?

Question

hi everybody i recently started running again im not in the best of shape but last night when i was running after about a minute or so my upper chest got really tight like a squeezing feeling and there was also some pain considering im only 17 and have no family history of heart problems could this just be the fact i havent ran in awhile or something more serious? and could allergies cause this? ive had a chest x-ray a couple weeks ago and everything checked out good. thanks for your answers i appreciate it!

I think really your way too young to even worry about it...Especially if there is no family history of lung or heart issues.  I have also had that sensation, I even went to the hospital, they told me that my heavy breathing sort of bruised my chest; it lasted a couple of days...Basically, you need to get in shape and start practicing yogic breath to increase lung capacity....

:) your absolutely fine...And it sounds like a perfect time for you to take care of your body, mind, and spirit...If your short on cash, most yoga studios will do work trade for yoga...like cleaning or checking people in...Yoga is an amazing practice on so many levels...In the mean time, take a deep breath; relax.  :)
