Hey guys, I'm 23 and experiencing the exact same thing, I use to be very fit up until about 18 when I stopped all sports and going to the gym and pretty much doubled in weight I have been going to the gym for 3 weeks now and focusing on cardio to drop the weight my usual cardio side involves 10mins running, 10-15mins bike, 5mins rowing then weights and before I go I hope back on the treadmill and just last as long as I can which is around 5 mins and then the left side of my chest gets sore, its usually alright to breath but on the odd occasion it hurts like a bastard to the point when u just hold you breath hoping its gone by time you next breath lol. I don't think its so much weight related as I did use to occasionally get it back in the days where I was really fit, never thought to take to much notice of it really my heart rate usually gets up into the 190s but usually still feel fine until chest gets sore that is. I joined the fire brigade out of leaving school and fitness tests were always cut short with me due to heart rate but I always passed due to not looking in any discomfort and looking / feeling like I could have gone much longer they use to stop me at around 170 which would only take a couple mins for me lol. Anyone had this checked out yet to see exactly what it is? I'm currently in a different country so haven't signed up to doctors yet.
