What Causes Tightness In Chest After Some Activity?

Every so often when I've stretched out or just run up the stairs my chest starts to feel really tight and I experience trouble breathing. It doesn't happen all the time and I'm fine doing normal activities and don't usually experience this when doing anything active like running or exercising.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having chest tightness and breathing difficulty on exertion.
So we should definitely rule out heart diseases for your symptoms.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
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.
