Is Intensive Yoga The Solution To Painful Chest?

Hi I have a question about tention and pain in my chest and back of my throat. Last night I practices an intensive yoga session for about an hour in a room heated to 75 degrees then spent about an hour rotating between hot tub and sauna. After my friends and I had soup and tea and I started to feel this pain in the back of my throat. It intensified when I got home and now I have tention pain in my chest and back as well. Could the sauna have caused this? Is this what pnumonia feels like?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for pneumonia as you are not having having cough and fever.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain due to intense Yoga is more likely.
So avoid movements causing pain.
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
