A member asked:

Doing sit-ups and swore i was havin heart probs.horrible pain in center of chest almost call 911. i think it was just gas.how did sit ups cause this ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If the pain was : A retrosternal pressure that appeared during the exercise and improved after stoping i will consider a heart problem as a cause. But, at your age not common. Seek medical attention asap. I take chest pain very seriously. There are other causes but an evaluation to r/o coronary syndrome very important.
