Doctor can evaluate: Chest tightness, chest pain, and shortness of breath can be due to minor problems or to very serious ones. A doctor can check to see what might be the cause. Sometimes blood tests, chest x-rays, and even an EKG will be done. Possible causes include a partial pneumothorax (collapsed lung), pneumonia, asthma, stomach reflux, heart problems, etc... Such symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor.
