Why do I have tightness in chest, hours after jogging?

[Han18]

I'm a 18 year old girl, I'm 2 stone over weight and I've been on a diet for a week. Today I ate a bananna, apple, water then had a jog. Then had a sandwich and went for another little jog and my chest felt tight. Then I had pasta for dinner and green tea. my chest still feels tight, 4 hours after jogging. I have sinus problems in my nose ( waiting for a operation). Help.

Is it your chest? Your stomach is actually much higher than people tend to think. You've been on a diet for a week and you've not eaten much today. Are you sure it's not hunger pangs?

This has nothing to do with your sinus problem and all to do with an overweight 18year old just starting on a physical exercise program.

Firstly, it is not a good idea to jog straight after eating, better to jog before as this redistributes blood from your muscles to the digestive system.

This pain is muscular and is a type of cramp and as you get fitter and lose more weight, your chest pain will become less significant.
