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 m having occasional tightness in my chest that radiates to my back. This happened last Saturday for most of the day and last night about 9:45p that lasted for a couple hours. I m very healthy and exercise 4 to 5 times a day mostly treadmill work (hills, cardio, fat burn). I m not overweight. Could this be Gard or something like that? If so, what can I do to alleviate this feeling?
