Hello

Mild chest pain lasting a week while using Mephentermine sulfate injections for gym workouts should be taken seriously, even if your ECG is normal. This drug is a stimulant that can increase heart rate and blood pressure, and long-term non-medical use (such as for bodybuilding or performance) can cause chest discomfort, heart strain, anxiety, or rhythm problems.

The most important step is to stop using the injections immediately until you are medically evaluated. A normal ECG does not rule out all heart or muscle-related causes, especially if symptoms persist for a week. Your pain could be from muscle strain due to new exercises, inflammation of chest wall muscles, or a medication-related cardiovascular effect, and a doctor may recommend repeat ECG, blood tests (cardiac enzymes), blood pressure check, and possibly an echocardiogram if symptoms continue.

If the pain becomes moderate to severe, spreads to the arm/jaw/back, is associated with shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or palpitations, you should seek urgent medical care the same day. Otherwise, arrange a routine medical check within the next 24–48 hours and avoid heavy workouts, stimulants, and injections until cleared.

Chest pain on the left side can have various causes, especially in young, healthy runners like yourself. A normal ECG is reassuring in many ways, ruling out some of the more acute coronary issues, but doesn’t address all possible causes. You’ve been on mephenteremine sulfate for seven months, and its use might need to be re-evaluated here. While primarily prescribed for managing low blood pressure and heart conditions, mephenatermin can sometimes cause side effects like tachycardia or palpitations, which might explain your discomfort. Another potential culprit could be costochondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage connecting a rib to the sternum, which is often painful but non-serious. Given your activity level, muscular strain due to intense exercise could also be causing your symptoms. It would be prudent to ease up on your running for a bit and see if the symptoms subside. Keep in mind that while these possibilities exist, pinning down the cause without a thorough examination might lead to oversight of another underlying issue. A visit with your primary care doctor is an important next step. Given the medication’s possible side effects, checking in with a healthcare professional will help determine if the drug is a contributing factor and whether it should be continued. They might also decide that further tests, such as echocardiograms or blood tests, are necessary to rule out other conditions. If you experience increased pain, dizziness, or symptoms like shortness of breath, seek immediate medical attention; these could be signals of a more serious problem needing urgent intervention.
