A member asked:
Having severe tightness on left side of heart near ribcage worsened by sitting, ct scan was normal, chest xray clear, what could these symptoms be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Worse sitting?: The only clue in your description is the observation that it's worse sitting. That suggests a muscular cause or possibly a compression neuropathy. A CT of the your cervical spine would rule the latter in or out. If negative, a trial of muscle relaxants and analgesics with physical therapy and heat would be worthwhile.
