Question:
Hi I recently got out of breath when running. Since that about a week ago I have had constant tightness feelings in my chest on the left by my armpit and sometimes up to my shoulder. This can make me dizzy as I feel I am not getting enough oxygen; what could it be?
See your doctor. Most likely, this is a form of chest pain called angina (follow the links):

You need you blood tests, an EKG and probably a stress ECHO:

You should check your risk for heart disease here:
