Upper right chest pain with high HR

Training

Hi, I have been using TR for few years and no complaints. But recently as my FTP went up and started to do Sustained Power (Build phase), I noticed that I begin to have some discomfort in my chest specifically when my heart rate goes very high (for me it’s 175+).

It is not something that makes me stop and I could tell it’s to do with my HR as I can feel my the artery pounding really hard near my right collar bone. It always comes towards the end of the interval so when I rest/stop it goes away.

I had an accident two years ago and broke this right bone. Could it be that the pain is coming from the lump caused by the broken (healed) bone?

Curious if you ever got an answer. I tend to have similar symptoms when doing long VO2 max intervals (3 to 5 min), though, the pain doesn’t start until maybe the the fifth or sixth intervals When HR creeps to 185+.

I never got injured on or around the chest before though, but in general, my HR can climb quite high (over 200).

I was reading this article to get a better understanding (after my doctor said he didn’t find anything abnormal).
