It feels like my shirt is up against the left side of my chest but i'm not wearing one and a little tightness is there any reason for it ?

Paresthesia: This sensation is caused by a nerve being irritated somewhere along it's course. Sometimes occurs with direct trauma or rubbing or potentially an infection such as early shingles. Hard to say exactly what. If you develop and further symptoms or these symptoms expand, I would see your doc for a good exam.
