A member asked:
I have a tightness on the right side of my chest when i stretch why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several reasons: This could be due to several causes...It could be musculoskeletal or pleuritic. It is probably nothing to be too concerned about..But, if it bothers you, or gets worse or changes i would see your family doc to have it checked out..
