What Causes Pain And Tight Sensation In The Chest?
I have been experiencing some chest tightness and chest pain on the right side close to my neck. It almost feels like there is something stuck in my chest. It often hurts to inhale and the tightness worsens with increased heart rate, especially when I exercise. This only started recently and I am in good physical shape so this is unusual for me. I got an EKG and had blood drawn and they showed that my heart and lungs are functioning properly. I m wondering if this is something to worry about?

Hi,
I think you should do a spirometry and an exercise heart test. It is possible to be either an asthma attack only in exercising or an effort angina.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
