My son,20, has this problem, he is slightly overweight, 5'9" 240 very muscualur has no other problems, can lift, do sit ups, crunches, etc yet he can not run, when he does after a couple of minutes he says his chest feels like a weight is sitting on it, had a stress test done today but have to wait for results, Heart Dr seemed very edgy while the test was going on and was ready to stop, then my son said he could do no more he didn't even get as far as finishing the test. this is not his lungs as we have had all the test done and his lungs are fine. Marfans Syndrome and Heart problems run on my side of the family and his Dad just had quad bypass 2 yrs ago, Dad was other wise healthy, thin, non smoker adn was only 50 yrs old. son also said he has a "racing" feeling sometimes when he is just sitting relaxing. Any info would be great, Thanks.
