Why am i feeling some type of tightness in the lower left side of my chest? when i inhale more it get tighter
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest tightness: Lower left chest distress made worse by a deep breath may be caused by strain or inflammation of the rib cage or from inflammation of the left lung or its lining. A heart cause is unlikely. An examination by a physician is recommended to pinpoint the cause of your symptom.
