Hello,
There is nothing wrong with a rapid pulse after exertion and this is normal. However any chest or neck pain/ discomfort on exertion needs to be evaluated to rule out heart disease. This can be done by an exercise stress test in a cardiologist's office. A normal stress test would be reassuring.

Regards.

When I say exertion it is as simple as walking and going up about 4 stairs and the pain is both
front and in my back upper back. I have recently been seen by a cardiologist and had a
ultra sound of my heart and I am scheduled for a
nuculeur test (stress) the end of this month. I also have had bronchitis. Do you think I need to see anyone before the end of the month? (in your opinion.)
