The chest pain sounds something we here in LA experience on a smoggy day 
when very active. It almost sounds like your body got used to having no 
contaminants in the air and when you started to breath that (relatively)
unclean air that the *extra* contaminants were felt.

Yep......

Have a good one Rich.
