What Does Pressure On The Left Side Of The Chest Indicate?
I HAVE A TIGHTNESS OR COMPRESSION ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CHEST. IT IS NOT PAINFUL BUT AT TIMES I FEEL WINDED. ALSO, AT REST, I FEEL THAT MY HEART IS RACING OR BEATING VERY FAST. IN ADDITION, I FEEL CONSTRICTION IN THE THROAT. NOT SURE IF THIS IS ALL RELATED BUT IT IS CONCERNING.
