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.
How to Get Stronger. The key to getting stronger is, of course, to lift heavy weights. Each time you lift heavy weights, you increase strength, muscle size and connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons. In other words, every part of you gets stronger, not just your muscles. If your goal is strength, your goal should be about 2-6 sets of up to 6 reps of each exercise with about 2-5 minutes in between each set. That means you want to lift enough weight that you can ONLY do 6 reps and no more.
