A member asked:

Sometimes when i lay on my light side i get chest tightness. and when i sit up it goes away.. had an ekg 5 months ago and everything was fine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscular discomfort: Positional chest discomfort is usually related to muscles/bones/joints. Unlikely to be of significant concern from heart perspective. Treat discomfort as needed with non-steroidals (motrin/aleve) or tylenol, (acetaminophen) and avoidance of positions which produce pain. See primary physician if persists.
