Chest Pain or Pressure
Imagine, you're pushing through a tough set, and suddenly, there's a pressure or pain in your chest. This could feel like a heavy weight, a squeezing sensation.
Don't brush it off as just fatigue. It could be a sign of something serious that requires instant attention. Remember, early detection is key, just like how quick decisions win kabaddi matches!
Shortness of Breath
Feeling breathless during a workout is normal, but what if it's excessive? If you're gasping for air, even when you're not pushing yourself too hard, it's a red flag. Compare it to the struggle to climb those Mumbai local stairs during rush hour – if it feels unusually tough, get checked out. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
Dizziness or Lightheadedness
Have you ever felt a sudden rush of dizziness or felt lightheaded while working out? This can be a serious warning sign. Picture this: You're trying to focus but everything's blurry. Take a break and check with a doctor to ensure all is well. Your health is more important than any workout record.
Cold Sweats and Nausea
Breaking into a cold sweat while exercising is definitely not ideal, especially when combined with nausea. It's like the pre-monsoon humidity, uncomfortable and a signal something's off. This combination warrants immediate medical attention. Prioritise your well-being, much like choosing a safe route home during heavy rains.
Pain in Other Areas
Sometimes, the pain isn't just in your chest; it might radiate to your arms, jaw, neck, or even your back. Think of it like a ripple effect, warning you of something bigger. Don't ignore this, especially if you're feeling it during exercise. It’s similar to how Bollywood songs stick in your head – you can't shake it off so see a doctor.
