A member asked:

Could chest pressure be a virus?

6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

See doctor: Chest pressure could be caused by a heart condition and should be evaluated to rule out heart causes of chest pressure like heart attacks or lung problems. Viral infections can cause symptoms like pleuritis - pain with deep breaths, but cardiovascular (heart) and lung problems need to be evaluated first. See your doctor.
