Pain in the side when cycling up slope

[pai000000]

Hello

 

I am a newbie, so please bear with me.

When I cycle up a significant slope, I get this pain on the right side of my chest.

This happens even when I switch to my second lowest gear.

 

Is this due to posture, or do I need to do some kind of strengthening exercise?

Is there a recommended posture for up hill? I usually bend forward.

 

Hope for some advice...

could be a variety of reasons. may be cardiac problems. u seen a doctor?

 

is the main internal or muscle?

Its an ache in my right side, perhaps the muscles.

Wow, cardiac... I hope not haha

No, I have not seen a doctor, because it doesn't seem that serious. I don't get this pain when I do other exercises like swimming or even just cycling fast on level ground.

different activities make use of different muscle groups I suppose? Maybe you should ask this on togoparts.com to get more input from experienced cyclists..

Thanks will try that.

if its muscle pain it could be just stitches or you squeezing on your intestines whilst cycling
