Suggest Treatment For Heart Pain

I was doing some sprints and my heart started to heart. I think its my heart because when it would beat it would hurt so I got scared and stopped sprinting. I was tired but not completely exhausted. I have been doing some pretty intense running these last two weeks and since then my heart has been hurting throught the day just not a lot. The pain increases as I run harder but it was just annoying more than painful. Today I was doing some sprints and stopped because for the first time it was painful. I wanted to know why it might be hurting? because I have worked out like this before just without the many sprints that I have been doing these past two weeks.

Hi,Thank you for querry,
exertional chest pain(angina)
According to your symptoms as you described it looks like exertional chest pain which is due to angina pectoris in which the coronary artery become stenosed due to athersclerosis resulting in pain when physical work increase because the stenosed artery doesnt fullfil the oxygen requirement of heart.
This type of angina relieved by rest or taking sublingual nitrats,
if a patient came to me with this complain
i will first go for an EKG for the ischemic changes and stress test and proceed further according to the test reports.
so its better to consult a cardiologist for your problem.
hope the answer will help you in making decision regarding your problem.
wish you a good health.
