A member asked:
Is it possible to have pain/discomfort in left side if chest due to constantly having shoulders tensed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES.: Everything in your body is connected to everything else one way or another. Chronic static posturing (remaining in one position for prolonged periods of time) can cause tightness--tension--pain in the muscles used to maintain your posture and those nearby. Take a deep breath and stretch from time to time. Best wishes.
