Can Heavy Lifting Cause Stomach And Chest Pain?

I just picked up a heavy bag of trash and carried it outside. Now I have this pain in my upper stomach/lower chest area. Right below my breasts. I feel a little short of breath and like I could throw up. I am feeling pain down my right back. I felt perfectly fine before I picked up the bag of trash.

Hi
Yes lifting weights can cause you pain.
It's better your relax for some time with deep breathing exercise.
Take some simple pain killers like diclofenac with muscle relaxant like flexon mr.
All the best.
