Introduction: Tingling calf muscle. Calf tingling/ paresthesias (medical symptom): The skin sensation of partial numbness or pins and needles or a type of burning, tingling or creeping sensation of the skin, is known as a paresthesia.
If heart disease runs in your family, especially if someone in your family had a heart attack in their 20s or 30s, then the chances that this is heart disease is greater. Most likely this chest pain is coming from a strained muscle, or an inflamed joint, and it gets worse when you lift something heavy. Your shortness of breath and sweatiness can be do to the pain itself. Dizziness can occur simply because you are hyperventilating when the pain comes on.
When lifting, you will still be building your tendons and ligaments, but by not eating properly, you will force your body to dump the muscle and literally itself of your hard work. If you are going to just get in a workout to help your heart and keep things stimulated, this is still going to benefit you more than not doing anything at all.
