While running, my chest and neck starts getting tight, Why?

I just started running on a regular, and I use to run all the time. A 41 yr old in good health, athlete, and no health problems. Any suggestions?
Answer:
Hey sunshine! There could be any number of reasons for this. My guess without tests or background info would be your neuromuscular interaction. Muscles that used to be worked regularly are now being stimulated again. Muscle fatigue causes cells to undergo anaerobic respiration which causes lactic acid to build up. (this causes the "burn" or pain associated with excrze) Or muscle inflamation can cause nerves to start spasm. Just some extra for ya.plants have a similar system for anaerobic respiration but instead of lactic acid build up, they produce ethanol. (alcohol for fermentation) If we had this system, we would get drunk everytime we worked out. hmmmm. rest your muscles properly after a workout, maybe look into some supplements (only if interested) I heard creatine helps increase oxygen in muscle cells. This would help them repair faster, get stronger, less damage thus maybe less spasms. Look into it though, I heard mixed things on it. It did help me but we're all different biochemically.
under breathing or over breathing.
You might have some problem with your arteries, check it.
Get a medical check up done.
