Chest/Stomach soreness
I have had slight chest discomfort located on my sternum. The discomfort has also been in my stomach(almost like being overly full even when I hadn't eaten, that went away later in the day) and upper stomach(mostly when I deeply inhale) I have been working out in a variety of ways in the last few months. In mid-August I weighed roughly 250 lbs. This morning I was 219. Is this a normal exercise muscle soreness, or is it more likely a more serious health problem?
