How To Treat Chest Tightness And Anxiety Caused Due To Strain?

I am a 57 year old male, non-smoker. I work at a computer 9 to 10 hours a day. and exercise regularly Recently I have begun to experience tightness in my chest when I walk fast or am anxious to get somewhere fast by walking. The pain is sharp and subsides quickly after I stop walking. Could this be symptomatic of a serious problem?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. If the pain subsides quickly, then the pain may not be a health concern. The muscles, when pulled or strained, ache naturally. Especially chest muscles which stretched when you walk swinging your arms. Anxiety part is second. When you take deep breath while walking, hyper ventilation results and hyperventilation is another cause of chest pain. be aware of your breathing while you walk and try to breath slow. You may consult a doctor to rule out any possible health problems.
