Can you pull your sternum muscle from swinging a golf club?
I was testing out a few new drivers last week, and I felt a “tweak” in my chest. Needless to say, I ignored it and kept hitting bomb after bomb of a new driver.
Well this week, my chest is killing me–it feels like there is someone lightly pushing down on my chest. When I swing, it feels like it’s stretching.
What can I do to fix this?
Could be a couple different things. Pleurisy. Sharp, localized chest pain that’s made worse when you inhale or cough may be caused by pleurisy. This condition occurs when the membrane that lines your chest cavity and covers your lungs becomes inflamed. Pleurisy may result from a wide variety of underlying conditions, including pneumonia and, rarely, autoimmune conditions such as lupus. An autoimmune disease is one in which your body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
Also, muscle-related chest pain tends to come on when you twist side to side or when you raise your arms. Chronic pain syndromes, such as fibromyalgia, can produce persistent muscle-related chest pain.
give it a day or two and if it doesn’t improve, see your doctor.
