More info needed: You should visit your doctor to establish that your chest and heart are normal. You must not smoke or be around smoke. Are you under a lot of stress at this time? Are you over weight? Do you exercise? You should consult your physician to see if you are physically able to exercise, ride an exercise bike or participate in physical activities. I hope you feel better soon.
