So one thing about today's race is bothering me...
After I finished, I had pretty intense chest "tightness" and pain that caught me off guard for about 10 minutes, exactly like this person experienced (Yup--I've consulted Dr. Google):

It didn't surprise me too much as that is the longest I have ever run by 3 miles and my max heart rate was 10 BPM higher than I have ever recorded. Still, it bothered me a bit because it felt so strong and unfamiliar and made me a bit unsteady. I also did a lot of coughing in the next thirty minutes, but I have no idea if that was related or not.
Should I not worry about it or check it out? I had a weird arrhythmia thing going out about a year ago (I attributed it to the stress of the wedding and haven't had any issues since) so I worry a little bit.
