Pain In Jaw After Heavy Exertion. Heart Related Problem?
I am a fit, 51 year old male, not overwieight and workout 5+ times p.w. which I have been doing for more than 10 years. After training for couple of months I ran a half marathon two weeks ago relatively easily and plan to do so again in a couple of weeks. A few weeks ago (prior to the half marathon) I was weightlifting and during heavy exertion experienced pain/discomfort in my left jaw that went away when I stopped the exertion. Last night (after a training run of 5km) I did some weightlifting and again during heavy exertion I experienced the same thing although this morning my left jaw still feels a little strange. Given all the other training I am doing could this be heart related and only appear when weightlifting or is it more likely to be a local jaw issue?

it appears to be heart realated but no local issue as it is related with exercise as in angina pectoris the pain occurs only fterexrecise
as the person do exercise the blood flow is reduced in already affected arteries and there is pain in a position you stated in most people or side of neck
or chest
as one takes rest the need of blood decreaes and person is confirtable
get consultation of heart specialist
