What Causes Tightness In Chest?
hi thank you for your time but lately i am having a tightness in my chest especially on morning when i just wake up and sometimes during the day the tightness goes and comes
I went to the dr and he sent me for an xray and it says that my lungs are clear but the tightness is still there and sometimes when i cough it sounds like if I have the flu can you tell me what maybe causing this problem. I am not a smoker.

Tightness in the chest is mostly due to some infection. For treatment you can take some antibiotic preferably levoflox or cefadroxyl after an expert advice along with some decongestants like wikoryl or diominic-dca for tightness and flu like symptoms. You can take syrup grilinctus-bm or ambrodil-s for coughing and soothing effect. Do warm water gargles and take steam inhalation to reduce the tightness and congestion of your chest.
