A few times after my chest training workouts, I had a sensation as though I had heartburn. As it turned out, I brought-up and expelled a very small amount of blood mixed with my saliva; then I was fine. Is this a normal occurrance when lifting heavy weights, and how can I avoid this problem in the future? Thank you.
