So tonight I pushed my limits rowing

[irishScott]

I normally do 45 min to an hour of rowing at full resistance, but tonight I felt like pushing it, so I went for an hour and a half with no slowdown or breaks. Needless to say I was/am still exhausted, but in the last 10 minutes, I got some minor chest pain in the heart region only. It was extremely mild, and after a few min I didn't even notice it, but is this just the heart's version of "feeling the burn" or could I have actually damaged it? Even resting, I can still feel it very slightly now if I focus on it. Think I'll take tomorrow off regardless.

YAR! It be the rickets laddy!

Pop a couple of Tums or calcium supplements and you'll be fine. Slap yourself for thinking about taking the day off.

Lol I do 5 days a week. I took yesterday off. Just means I'll be hitting the gym from Wed-Sat

And rickets are bone weakening, I get somehwere around 140% DV calcium and 100% DV Vitamin D a day. WTF would that have to do with heart pain?

Or did I just get gas from the Gatorade I was drinking? If that's it I'm going to lol.

Just being cautious. I've been doing this rowing routine for about 3 months now and nothing like this has happened.

no pain, no gain.

Rowing makes you hurt in ways you never thought possible. I ended up okay after it all though.

Make sure you don't overdo it though, I know people whose doctors ordered them to stop rowing.

Atypical chest pain.

Unless it starts radiating, causes further pressure, or definite shortness of breath I'll will personally smack you upside the head if you goto an ER.

Seriously....we get so many people with chest pain in the ER that have been working out hard. And 99% of them are healthy young bucks who have no medical problems except that they worked out too hard and pulled/strained a pectoral.

It's nothing personal against you but it happens so often when I'm in the ER that it drives us batty sometimes.

Lol I had no intention of going to an ER unless it worsened considerably, but thanks.

If you could do that it is unlikely it would be of cardiac origin.

As a law student, who is not allowed to give legal advice, I am advising you not to give any medical advice, since you are not a doctor.

Maybe people go to the ER for chest pain because they don't want to fsck around with their health?

I'm 24 and I once called 911 because of extreme shortness of breath and a 95 degree temp. I was fine, just slightly hypothermic, but better safe than sorry I think.
