What Could Chest Pain And Vomiting After Exertion Indicate?
I am 72 years old. Yesterday I raced in an airport terminal to catch a plane and had to get help because my chest started hurting. I had a knee replacement surgery 3 months ago and this is the first time I have really walked much on it. Today I am throwing up and my chest hurts.

Hello
The first thing to note here is that this has to be considered cardiac until proved otherwise.
It could also be gastric acid reflux or a pulled chest muscle but you have to see a doctor right now to get an exam, an EKG, blood work, and perhaps a stress test
