If occasionally you get a tightness in your chest a bit painful and you bang it and it goes away but does re occur is it serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not serious...but: Have someone confirm what you are experiencing in person. If the chest pain goes away when you"bang" it- this suggests a musculo-skeletal process.If the recurrence isn't any worse or it doesn't affectyournormal daily routine, then it isn't so bad.
