I got a new sports bra and it fitted really tight. After running i didnt change into my regular cup bra, so I wore it for around 2 or 3 hours after. My chest started to hurt and I finally changed when I got home. Now I have a lot of chest pains and it feels like there's a lot of pressure and i have a shortness of breath. Has anyone had this happen to you? Should I be concerned? It hurts where my sternum is and kinda above my stomach where the thick strap was...
 
thats normal if you wear a tight bra. what helps for me is ice. just lay down and ice it. do ice for 10 mins then heat for 10 mins. keep on doing that for about an houur then it should be fine.
 
your bra should never be tight! this can cause damage to the breast tissue, and the pain you have could be a slight bruising under the area of the bar. you are ok, but throw that thing in the trash! sports bra's are all junk because they provide no support, they only smash! Try a warm heating pad, or hot wash clothe to reduce the pain. do this for 15 minutes and then got to a ice pack. it should go away in a few days, but if not then definitely go to your Doc. and explain what happened. you NEVER should smash your breast, this can lead to cyst and they are painful. good luck!
