For the last week, I've had a sharp cramp right under my left breast, at the top of my rib cage while jogging. It is always in the same spot. I've ran the same speed and the same distance for probably the last 6 months or so and never had any trouble whatsoever and within the last week, this cramp has stopped me in my tracks.. to the point that I cannot even walk. One day, I was warming up with a slow walk and it was not 30 seconds and I got this cramp. I thought it may have been exercise related up until yesterday, I had this cramp all day long, just relaxing. With that said, I'm not convinced it's just a runner's cramp. It feels like I'm not being able to to exhale out of my left side. Is it possible to have an air bubble trapped in your rib cage? I know the usual answer is "go see a doctor", and that is indeed good advice... but I'm wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this. Btw, I'm young and healthy (I think)... too young to already be falling apart!
Thanks in advance.
