A member asked:
Whenever i lean over it feels like my chest gets tight, pinches, and is about to rip. my dr. says it's not cardiac. what could be the issue(s)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mgt: It is most likely related to muscle strain since it occurs with stretching the chest wall musculature. I would recommend a heating pad for twenty minutes to the area affected to assess whether this alleviates the pain.
