?Hard to say: Not all chest pain is life threatening but if you having persistent central chest pain , its best to see a doctor immediately at an urgent care or emergency room to rule out causes. This way we can ask more questions, examine, and decide what testing if any is appropriate. Good luck.

See below: Air needs to be warmed to body temperature as it passes thru the nasal cavity and then humidified to 100% humidity by cells in the trachea that add water. Very cold air is low in humidity causing the cells to dehydrate causing discomfort. Also the air reaching the lungs can be too cold, as people tend to mouth breath during exertion, bypassing the nose. SEE: http://bit.ly/1zqeEoD see comments
