A member asked:
My chest feels tight and heavy when i breathe and my heart rate is 88bpm. why could this be?

See doctor...: Your heart rate of 88 is within the realm of normal. But, your chest tightness and heaviness when breathing could be due to many different problems including bronchospasm. If present, bronchospasm can be easily treated with bronchodilator and steroid inhalers so see your doctor ASAP. If you feel short of breath, go to the ER for diagnosis and treatment.

Chest wall strain: probably chest wall strain or stress -- please see your doctor and get examined properly
