Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve been working out pretty heavily the past week or so and have started to notice a slight discomfort in my far left side of my chest and a slight discomfort in my arm as well as shortness of breath when I m relaxing (Watching TV, Driving, Sitting down, etc...). I have no shortness of breath when I m active though. Could it just be muscle tightness on my chest from working out?
