my chest feels very tight when i exercise. I am only 21 and I am 168cm and around 60kgs. I experience it often when I used to exercise too. But I just got back into exercise, and it started again. Its hard to breath and it feels really try and raspy in my chest.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of pulled muscle related chest tightness is more likely.
Exercise can cause pulled muscles.
So better to avoid exercise for few days.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
Avoid movements causing pain.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
If not improving in 1 week then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
