Suggest Treatment For Tightness On Chest
Sometimes I get a painful tightness in my chest, even though it hurts, taking breaths seems to help it stop. It comes on suddenly and isn t everyday, only occasionally. the feeling usually only lasts a few minutes but at times have lasted up to 40 minutes. I have had this problem occasionally for years. I am concerned about it but haven t told a doctor about it before.

dear,
since u have not mentioned ur age so history becomes inconclusive, but for ur knowledge if u have tightness in chest relieved by taking rest than these are symptoms of angina and that can be diagnosed on an EKG at the time of pain, if ekg is normal further it can be evaluated by a TMT,
