A member asked:
I have had on several occasions shortness of breath tightness in chest n pain in left shoulder. it happens even when lying down.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info needed: Is the discomfort affected by a deep breath or when you rotate your shoulder? What happens when you exert yourself? Do you have a cough? How long does the chest tightness last? Is there a tender spot on the rib cage? It doesn't sound too worrisome but have your pcp evaluate this complaint.
