Back pain: w/check pain needs immediate attention by a doctor. Cardiac symptoms manifest in back sometimes. Hopefully it is not that but you need to know. Peace and good health.

My resting HR was around 50bpm. I had a slight tight chest and went for a run. Now my resting HR is about 70 for the last 3 weeks. Has the run caused damage or will it go back down? I am a long distance runner.
