A member asked:

Sensation in surface of chest as though shirt is clinging to skin. history of reflux-clear cardiac workup few years ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Superficial paresthe: This does not appear to be a cardaic issue: the sensation of "clinging" may be due to chest wall nerve irritation. This isnot consistent with reflux. Seek a medical workup for the cause.
